John P. Dahl, MD, PhD, MBA, FACS
My goal is to provide patient- and family-focused care for children with complex disorders involving the head and neck. A key to this practice is the commitment to interdisciplinary care: working with additional physician specialists and other providers to generate a unified, comprehensive treatment plan for our patients. Seattle Children’s Hospital and the University of Washington provide an optimal environment for delivering this care.
