Philosophy of Care
I aspire to have patients leave my office with a firm understanding of their disease process and a management plan, working in partnership with the patient and University team to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Fuller's clinical practice is devoted to the comprehensive management of head and neck disease with particular attention to benign and malignant lesions of the upper aerodigestive tract, advanced malignancies of the skin, salivary gland tumors, and cancers abutting or invading the cranial base.
In addition to caring for those with head and neck malignancies, Dr. Fuller has developed a profound interest in the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea which allows him to tailor surgical intervention to patient specific anatomic targets.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Fuller's research interests include functional outcomes in the management of head and neck malignancy and obstructive sleep apnea.
