David Eisele, MD, has been appointed the new director of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Andelot Professor of Laryngology and Otology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He will begin his tenure on March 1.
Dr. Eisele, who currently serves as chair of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF), was formerly a faculty member in the same Johns Hopkins department from 1988 to 2001. During his time at Hopkins, he held appointments in otolaryngology, oncology, anesthesiology and critical care medicine. He was a recipient of the George Nager Resident Teaching Award for excellence in teaching otolaryngology.
"Dave developed a sterling reputation as a clinician, prodigious researcher and superb teacher, which was why the University of California-San Francisco recruited him away in 2001," said Edward Miller, MD, dean of the medical faculty at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine. "We're delighted that he's 'coming home.'"
"I am privileged to have been given this great opportunity to return to Johns Hopkins and to lead the top department of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery in the world," Dr. Eisele remarked.
Dr. Eisele specializes in surgery for malignant and benign tumors of the head and neck, with special interest in salivary gland neoplasms and disorders. He is the director of the UCSF Head and Neck Cancer Program and the president of the UCSF Medical Staff.
He has published more than 140 research papers and edited several books related to head and neck surgery.
