About

Dr. Patrick Tassone is a head and neck surgeon who treats benign and cancerous tumors in the mouth, throat, voice box, neck and salivary glands. He is able to remove the tumor and perform reconstructive surgery on adult patients. Using his specialty training in reconstruction, Dr. Tassone can restore form and function for patients whose cancer surgeries require removal of important structures. As part of our team approach to cancer care, Dr. Tassone also offers his patients clinical trials for head and neck cancers. He’s actively involved in research and has received funding to study the metabolism of head and neck cancers to better understand cancer cell growth and how doctors might be able to stop or slow cancer growth.
