Personal

As a child, I had wonderful interactions with my physicians that inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. After volunteering in medical fields in my early college years, I decided to specialize in Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose and Throat). This field is diverse and provides the opportunity to care for the young and “more matured”, as well as acute and chronic disease. I enjoy serving others and volunteering in charitable organizations to help those in need in our community.

During my “free time” I enjoy running, scuba diving, working out, skiing, hiking and spending time with my wife and family.

Testimonials

"Dr Dean is the very Best!!!!!!! He saved my life 15 years ago and again helped me a year ago. Besides being an excellent physician, he has a great heart and soul and spends all the time needed to be present for me. I spent many years in hospital administration in Palo Alto California and his qualities are rare in medicine these days."

"I was greeted by very nice front office filling out my paperwork on iPad super easy. Dr. Dean was very nice and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend this office."

K.Z.

"Dr. Dean is amazing. He has a wonderful personality and makes you feel welcomed. He has a great bedside manner. He performed sinus surgery on me this week and it went so much smoother than I expected. I have heard horror stories. He really is the best. Lenoir in his office is utterly amazing. She really is the best. She called my insurance several times trying to push the pre-authorization through and got it approved in 2 days versus the 15 days they said it would take. She didn't stop until it was done. She definitely went above and beyond. These people are the BEST!"
