P. Ashley Wackym, MDDr. Wackym is a board-certified Otolaryngologist Head and Neck Surgeon with fellowship training in adult and pediatric otology, neuro-otology, and cranial base surgery.
Together with internationally recognized leaders in neurology, neurosurgery, rehabilitation medicine, and cranial base surgery, Dr. Wackym's specific clinical interests have led to the establishment of multidisciplinary programs for cochlear implantation, hearing preservation in acoustic neuroma surgery, neurofibromatosis type 2, and vestibular disorders. Also included are new clinical trials in cochlear and auditory brainstem implantation prostheses at the Medical College of Wisconsin (Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital and the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin).
Although Dr. Wackym's practice includes the entire scope of adult and pediatric hearing, facial nerve and balance disorders, his clinical emphasis at the Medical College of Wisconsin is on the surgical rehabilitation of congenital hearing losses including aural atresia and microtia repair; cochlear implantation; vestibular disorders; in hearing preservation in acoustic neuroma surgery and removal of complex tumors of the skull base. He also directs a basic science research program in the molecular biology of hearing and balance disorders and in gene discovery in acoustic neuromas.
