Head and Neck Surgeon
Medical Director, Northside Hospital Cancer Institute, Head & Neck Program
Prior to moving to Atlanta to open Atlanta Head & Neck Associates, Dr. Song was the Director of Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Colorado Hospital for 18 years and an associate professor of otolaryngology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Dr. Song has served as an invited speaker at symposiums across the US and Asia, and has authored multiple peer-reviewed articles and book chapters in this field. He holds technology patents on early detection of head and neck cancer, and his research
interests includes the use of novel technologies such as microRNAs in the diagnosis of head and neck cancer, preserving quality of life in head and neck cancer, and head and neck reconstruction.
“I take my job very seriously, but I don’t take myself too seriously. I try to treat each patient and their family with warmth, honesty, and humor. I believe that we sometimes have to laugh together in order to get through this cancer journey. If you fall down, I will pick you up. And we will keep pushing through together.”
