Hassan Nasser, M.D., has joined the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute's Head and Neck Oncology Multidisciplinary Team.

"One of the qualities that drove me toward the Head and Neck MDT and Karmanos is the team that has developed at this organization. I understand and admire their passion for their patients, and I know they are physicians and researchers dedicated to finding better options for head and neck cancer patients," said Dr. Nasser. "The quality and intent of their work is outstanding. Joining with my colleagues will continue to drive me to be the best physician I can be to my patients and provide them the best care possible."

Dr. Nasser is an ear, nose and throat (ENT) physician with a subspecialty in diagnosing and treating head and neck cancers. He provides surgical removal for benign and cancerous tumors of the head and neck, including the face, jaw, neck, nose and sinuses, parathyroid, parotid gland, throat, thyroid, tongue, and voice box. He has a particular interest in robotic surgery for throat cancer. In addition, he performs the full spectrum of plastic and reconstruction surgery of defects after these types of surgeries, including microvascular free tissue transfer (free flap surgery).

"Hassan's skill and detailed care that he provides his patients is what our Head and Neck Oncology MDT leader was looking for to help round out our comprehensive team," expressed George Yoo, M.D., FACS, chief medical officer at Karmanos Cancer Hospital. "Head and neck cancers are sensitive to treat and to heal from after treatment because these areas are commonly what people see first. With Dr. Nasser's expertise, he'll provide his patients with curative treatment and help them learn to love their most sensitive areas with reconstruction. We were impressed by Dr. Nasser, and we're happy that he's joined our team."

Dr. Nasser was born and raised in southeast Michigan and obtained his bachelor's degree in neuroscience at the University of Michigan. He was then awarded the William K. Brehm full tuition scholarship to attend the University of Michigan Medical School. Following medical school, he completed his internship and residency training in otolaryngology at the world-renowned UCLA Medical Center. Dr. Nasser returned to the University of Michigan for fellowship training in head and neck surgical oncology and microvascular reconstruction.
