SYRACUSE, N.Y.— St. Joseph's Health is pleased to announce that Tazheh Kavoosi, MD, has joined its ENT practices as an otolaryngologist. Dr. Kavoosi will provide care at both St. Joseph's Physicians ENT locations: Northeast Medical Center in Fayetteville and the newly established practice at North Medical Center in Liverpool, helping expand access to ear, nose and throat care throughout Central New York.

Dr. Kavoosi received her medical degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in Ohio. Before traveling across the country, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, with a minor in Biochemistry, from the University of Arizona where she was a preceptor for cellular neurophysiology and molecular and cellular biology courses.

Her residency training in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery was completed at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse.

“I am passionate about addressing/mitigating healthcare disparities and expanding access to care for underserved populations,” said Dr. Kavoosi. “Having done my residency in Syracuse, I have seen the significant need for ENT providers within this community. I am looking forward to expanding access to equitable and comprehensive care alongside a team who shares this mission.”

Giving back to her community has always been important to Dr. Kavoosi. Over the years, she has donated her time to several organizations benefiting underprivileged children, elderly and disabled persons, and pediatric patients with complex developmental and emotional needs.

Dr. Kavoosi has held several research assistantships studying chronic rhinosinusitis, cleft lip and palate repair, memory during sleep, laser ablation outcomes in medically intractable pediatric epilepsy, among many other topics. Some of her many abstracts, presentations, and manuscripts tackled everything from multidisciplinary approaches to substance use disorder treatment and prevention of medical student burnout to speech outcomes of cochlear implants and telemedicine in the Middle East.

Dr. Kavoosi is married with a young son. She enjoys dancing, golfing, hiking, and gardening.
