Benjamin Wahle, MD

Hometown: Indianapolis, IN

Personal Statement: I chose a career in Otolaryngology because I wanted to work with patients with issues related to the special functions of the head and neck, especially hearing and communications disorders. I chose Washington University for residency training because of the outstanding faculty and residents who are committed to excellence in both their clinical and academic pursuits. My research interests include neurofibromatosis 2 and vestibular schwannomas. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar and banjo, spending time outside, skiing, and trying new restaurants.
