Marcus Hwang explores with Dr. Eric J. Dierks MD, DMD, FACS, FACD, FRCS(Ed) on the major factors behind the success of establishing Head and Neck Surgical Associates (HNSA | www.head-neck.com) as a prominent hybrid private practice in Portland, Oregon. What does a OMS hybrid practice look like? What challenges might you facing when establishing a hybrid practice? What do you mean by "dura to pleura"? What is your favorite car?

Dr. Dierks is the co-founder of HNSA, a full-scope OMS private practice. He completed his dental education at the University of Louisville before completing his OMS residency at what is now the Christiana Care OMS residency. He went onto obtaining his medical degree from the Louisville General Hospital to go onto his residency in ENT. Dr. Dierks is one of few OMS to have been inducted into the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
