About Me

Dr. Hertzano's clinical practice is focused on diseases of the ear and lateral skull base, with a focus on hearing restoration and genetic hearing loss.

She is a professor of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, anatomy and neurobiology, at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. And she leads a highly collaborative, federally-funded research laboratory.

Her research focuses on understanding genetic hearing and balance impairment, and the molecular basis of age and noise-induced hearing loss. Dr. Hertzano's research uses molecular and genomic approaches along with detailed histological and physiological analyses.

Dr. Hertzano is a member of the Hearing Restoration Project of the Hearing Health Foundation, the American Academy of Otolaryngology Hearing Committee, is the chair of the American Neurotology Society research committee, a member of the Collegium of Otolaryngology (CORLAS) and an Associate Editor of Otology & Neurotology and the Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (JARO).

Dr. Hertzano received her medical and PhD degrees from Tel Aviv University, where she studied the molecular basis of hearing impairment and was the recipient of a Foulkes Foundation Fellowship physician-scientist award. She completed her internship and residency in the department of otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

  • Very good experience

  • Dr. Hertzano is excellent. After scanning her notes about the previous visit, we had a conversation about current issues. She did a full exam of critical organs. Made comments about my situation, and made a recommendation for the future.

  • A little concerned that the doctor had not reviewed my medical records before speaking to me and did it entirely during the visit

  • Dr. Was very attractive and thoughtful and concerned showed interest in my condition

  • I was very impressed and appreciative with the care that I was provided with.

  • Very good

  • I had a good experience.

  • If all of your healthcare providers were as great all-around as Dr. Hertzano, you'd never have to do a survey again! You're lucky to have her. Competence and personality rarely come in such superb combination.
