Anne K. Maxwell, MD Otologist/Neurologist Clinical Assistant Professor Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery "Ear and skull base pathology causing hearing loss, balance disturbance, or facial nerve weakness can cause serious disruptions in quality of life and communication, thereby isolating a person from his or her community. Restoring those senses and providing patients with an avenue to reconnect with their communities gives me a sense of purpose."
