Wazen, MD, is a board-certified otolaryngologist with subspecialty certification in Neurotology (ear and skull base disorders) and over 40 years of clinical, surgical, and academic experience. He focuses on disorders of hearing and balance, including Meniere’s disease (inner ear disorder causing vertigo and hearing loss), acoustic neuroma (benign tumor on the hearing nerve), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and cochlear implantation (surgically placed hearing devices). His work also includes bone-anchored hearing systems (implanted devices that transmit sound through bone) and complex skull base surgery. Dr. Wazen has held senior academic roles at Columbia University and currently serves as Associate Professor of Clinical Otolaryngology at Florida State University. He has led major hospital programs, including Chief of Staff and Chair of Surgery, and has directed multidisciplinary skull base teams. He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications and delivered hundreds of invited presentations internationally on hearing loss, vestibular disorders, and implantable hearing technologies. In legal matters, Dr. Wazen applies decades of surgical and research expertise to evaluate standard of care and causation. He explains complex ear and neurologic conditions in clear, practical terms for attorneys, judges, and juries.
