Dr. Sean Massa evaluates and treats cancers and benign tumors of the head and neck, including oral, pharyngeal, laryngeal, sinonasal, salivary, thyroid and skin tumors. He uses microvascular free tissue transfer for reconstruction after cancer surgery or traumatic injury to maximize functional and cosmetic outcomes.
