About Jeb M Justice

Hi there, I am Dr. Jeb Justice. I graduated from Emory University in Atlanta and then went on to complete my residency in otolaryngology – head and neck surgery from the University of Utah Hospitals in Salt Lake City. I completed my fellowship training in rhinology and skull base surgery from the Sinus & Nasal Institute of Florida in Saint Petersburg.

I joined the University of Florida Department of Otolaryngology in 2012. Currently, I serve as chief of the UF Division of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery and associate residency program director. As an academic physician, I provide training to resident physicians, fellow physicians, medical students and staff. I also actively participate in research, teaching conferences and grand rounds.

My partner, Dr. Brian Lobo, and myself participate in NIH-funded research with principal investigator Dr. Jennifer Mulligan, PhD. I also participate in industry-sponsored clinical trials investigating novel therapeutics for chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps.

I serve as the co-director of the UF HHT (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia) Center of Excellence, the only center of its kind in the state of Florida. I am also proud to be the co-director of the UF Health Smell Disorders Program.
