Biography
Dr. Judson specializes in the surgical treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck. He is passionate about achieving the best possible results for his patients, tailoring minimally invasive surgical approaches to each patient and their condition, reducing possible aesthetic and functional side effects. His clinical interests include oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx tumors, salivary tumors, thyroid malignancies, skin cancers, and sinonasal tumors. He attended Middlebury College, obtained a Masters Degree at the University of Pennsylvania, and graduated from Jefferson Medical College. He completed a residency at Georgetown University Hospital in Otolaryngology and a fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology. His research interests parallel his clinical focus and include tailoring minimally invasive approaches to the surgical treatment of head and neck cancers using endoscopic laser and robotic techniques. He also conducts small translational clinical trials to improve our understanding of head and neck cancers.
