“Dr. DeKlotz was really great! Knowledgeable, willing to answer questions, very calm and gentle while doing the procedure; just a good doctor in every way.
The office staff was also great! A very friendly, courteous, and kind group of professionals. They are the first "face" of any medical office and are very important. Granted, one goes for the skill of the doctor, but the office staff enables the doctor to be at her/his best and help keep the "mood" of the office.

“Dr. DeKlotz was professional, personable, and very knowledgeable. My wait time was less than 10 minutes. I had been experiencing chronic itching in both my left and right ear for two years. At one point, I thought there was some living organism residing in my ear, such as an ear mite or some sort of mite in my ears. I finally broke down and visited a professional concerning the matter. Dr. DeKlotz assessed my ears and informed me the issue causing the chronic itchiness. He prescribed drops to treat my condition. I have been itch free for months now. I am forever grateful to Dr. DeKlotz!”

About Dr. Timothy DeKlotz
Timothy DeKlotz, MD, is a board-certified otolaryngologist and assistant professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine. He is a member of the North American Skull Base Society (NASBS) and the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF).

He also specializes in cancers of the head and neck and sinus disorders.
Dr. DeKlotz received his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine and completed his internship program and residency program at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. He then finished his fellowship program in open and endoscopic cranial base surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
His clinical interests include endoscopic skull base disorders, cancers of the head and neck, and nasal and sinus disorders. His research interests include outcomes for patients with skull base disorders.
Dr. DeKlotz is part of one of the few skull base teams in the region that performs advanced endonasal skull base procedures utilizing state-of-the-art technology and instrumentation. Through these newer techniques, Dr. DeKlotz and his team are able to improve outcomes and significantly decrease recovery time for their patients.
"Treating every patient the same way does not produce results. My philosophy is to individualize treatment and give personalized care that is as unique as each one of my patients. Keeping an algorithm to patient care is important, but tailoring treatment to the patient is critical.
It is important to me that my patients are well informed and that I answer all of their questions. I am dedicated to listening to my patients and ensuring that I answer all of their questions as well as address all of their concerns."
