Uttam K. Sinha, MD, brings a dedication to patient care, research and education that has made him a world authority in head and neck diseases. He takes an integrative, multidisciplinary approach to improving quality of life for each patient.
Dr. Sinha, the Watt Family Endowed Chair for Head and Neck Cancers, is advancing early detection of cancer, using liquid biopsy, and the rehabilitation of speech and swallowing, using real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition to head and neck cancer, his research interests include reconstructive surgery and robotic surgery. In 2018, Dr. Sinha received a Technology Commercialization Award from the USC Stevens Center for Innovation for his saliva-based early detection diagnostic test.
Several years ago, Dr. Sinha helped launch a patient survivorship program called HNC Support International. He has been named a Top Doctor 2020 by the Los Angeles Business Journal and is a Castle Connolly Top Doctor.
Growing up in a small town in India, he saw firsthand the suffering caused by untreated head and neck tumors. The experience inspired him to become a doctor and continues to fuel his work today.
“My philosophy of care reaches beyond medical management to include the importance of promoting health, focusing on a healthy lifestyle that includes good nutrition, sleep, and stress reduction.
The most important aspects of my relationship with my patients are addressing their psychosocial needs and getting to know their families.”
