Balkany, Expert on Cochlear Implants, Steps Down as Chair of Otolaryngology
|
| Fred Telischi, M.D., and Thomas Balkany, M.D. |
Telischi Named Interim Chair
Imagine growing up without hearing the sounds of childhood: the bells on an ice cream truck, Saturday morning cartoons, your mother's voice. Hundreds of children from South Florida and around the world have been spared that fate thanks to the groundbreaking work of Thomas J. Balkany, M.D., who recently stepped down as chair of otolaryngology at the Miller School.
