Head and neck surgical oncology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancers affecting the head and neck region. This includes tumors of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, sinuses, salivary glands, thyroid, and parathyroid glands.

Surgeons in this field perform complex surgeries to remove tumors, reconstruct affected areas, and work closely with other specialists to provide comprehensive cancer care.

ENT Associates is proud to provide expert care in this category courtesy of Dr. William Reschly, a board-certified surgeon with fellowship training in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology and Microvascular Reconstruction.

WILLIAM J. RESCHLY, MD

FELLOWSHIP TRAINED | HEAD & NECK SURGICAL ONCOLOGY & MICROVASCULAR RECONSTRUCTION

“After years of rigorous preparation in renowned programs, I am fellowship trained in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology & Microvascular Reconstruction, a subspecialty dedicated to treating masses, tumors and cancers of the head and neck through open, endoscopic and transoral robotic surgical (TORS) methods.

My broad training allows me to treat patients with complex pathologies from start to finish ensuring continuity or care while providing the gold standard of treatment and reconstruction.

My practice has always been based on a patient-centered approach to care, prioritizing clear communication and collaboration with patients and their families. Whether guiding a patient through a challenging diagnosis, explaining treatment options, or providing emotional support, I’m committed to walking with each patient every step of the way toward recovery.

As a proud Floridian, I am honored to put my expertise to work serving the community that helped shape my life and career.”
