Dr. Kenneth Grundfast has been practicing otolaryngology for more than forty years. Initially confining his practice to pediatric otolaryngology, his focus has most recently been on caring for adult patients with ear and hearing disorders.

Throughout his career, he has led several departments, including serving as Chair of the Department of Otolaryngology at the Children's National Medical Center, Interim-Chair at the Georgetown University Medical Center, and, for the past 18 years, Chair of the Department of Otolaryngology at Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center. He has also held leadership positions in many professional societies, frequently been an invited speaker, and published more than one hundred reports in medical journals.

A graduate of Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Grundfast received his medical degree from State University of New York Upstate Medical Center. He then moved to Boston to complete his surgical internship at Tufts New England Medical Center, where he also completed a one-year fellowship in community health and social medicine. After serving as a Lieutenant Commander for the US Public Health Service, he completed his residency in otolaryngology at Boston University and his fellowship training in pediatric otolaryngology at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.
