This may include surgical procedures such as laryngectomies, neck dissections, endoscopic sinus surgery, and other ENT and head and neck surgeries.

“I think listening to what a patient has to say – their opinions, frustrations, joy, sadness, surprise, relief – is the most important thing I do. Countless times, I find that I may not be offering anything to the patient that they are not aware of, but they are happier, and more confident simply because I listened to them and was able to talk to them in a way that they understand” expressed the doctor. 

Among his other roles, Dr. Guhrathi is currently serving as the Chief of Oncology & Robotics at the Head & Neck Institute of Banner University Medical Center (Phoenix). He is also a member of both the Skull Base Team at Barrow’s Neurological Institute and the CranioFacial Team at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center.

He then went on to complete a fellowship in skull base surgery and head and neck oncology and free flap/microvascular surgery at the University of California, Davis in Sacramento.

The doctor is board-certified in otolaryngology by the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, which serves the public by ensuring that diplomates meet the standards of training, knowledge, and professionalism through initial and continuing certification.
