Peter A Gochee, MD

Dr Gochee entered college after four years in the US Army, serving in the 2nd Ranger Battalion. While he was in medical school, he was awarded a prestigious Fulbright Fellowship to Australia and completed a Ph.D. in molecular biology. He completed his ENT surgical training at KUMC and was on faculty for an additional two years. He then returned to Australia for advanced surgical training in otology (ear surgery) and practiced there for five years, prior to returning to Kansas City. His surgical and clinical practice covers all aspects of ENT surgery, with specific interests in advanced otology and head & neck procedures.
