About Me
I have always found dealing with serious and difficult disease most rewarding. Head and neck cancer care presents exceptional challenges for the patient and our team, but working with these patients facing great challenges is rewarding to me personally. To help put patients at ease, I try to inject humor into difficult situations whenever possible. My areas of expertise include salivary gland and thyroid cancers.
Conditions I Treat
- Head and neck cancers
- Salivary gland cancer
- Thyroid cancer

Dr. Newlands is sincere and caring. I moved out of state and he made it his mission to reach me about my son's care.

The provider did not seem concerned that I wanted the biopsy and that I was anxious about this.[...] The resident he was working with was very nice and attentive and receptive to my feelings.
