He completed his surgical training in the department of otolaryngology-head & neck surgery at Emory University.

Clinical Expertise

Dr. Naseri’s clinical interests mainly focus on advanced sinus and nasal surgery (often done by a camera and instruments via the nostrils) for removing benign and malignant tumors. These are tumors that often transgress the usual confines of the sinuses and extend into the surrounding adjacent spaces, such as the region of the brain, eyes and may even spread into the lymph nodes in case of some malignancies. Treatment of such conditions involves close collaboration with other subspecialties, particularly with neurosurgeons. Other specialties include radiation oncology, medical oncology, neurovascular surgery, pathology, radiology, and others. Dr. Naseri currently collaborates with neurosurgeons at 4 major hospitals in the region to offer advanced options for surgery in the management of such sinus, nasal, eye, and other tumors in certain parts of the skull even those originating in the brain. He has performed hundreds of surgeries in collaboration with his neurosurgery colleagues, a service that often gets patient referrals from other subspecialty colleagues in ENT and neurosurgery from the greater North Florida region and beyond.

Research

His research projects are ongoing, spanning the following topics: The use and efficacy of Trans-oral Robotic Surgery (TORS) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea; The feasibility and role of robotic technologies in anterior skull base surgery; Techniques and outcomes of tracheostomy procedures in a tertiary care hospital environment; Technical considerations, indications and outcomes of endoscopic orbital decompression surgery. His interests in instrument design, engineering, and surgical application has allowed him to offer the latest in cutting-edge technology to allow a tailored surgery that is more complete, efficient and safer.
