About Neil N Chheda
Hi, my name is Dr. Chheda. I received my undergraduate degree in chemistry from Princeton University in New Jersey. Then I attended The Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus, Ohio before pursuing a residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Upon completion of my residency, I completed a one-year fellowship in Laryngology under the direction of Dr. Gregory Postma at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, GA.
I now work as an Associate Professor, the Residency Program Director, and Chief of the Division of Laryngology at the University of Florida College of Medicine, having an attending physician and academic position in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. My special interests include disorders of voice and swallowing.
