​​​​​Profe​​ssional Background 

Dr. Etan Weinstock is Chief of the Ear, Nose and Throat Department at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic.
 
​Before joining Kelsey-Seybold, Dr. Weinstock served as chief of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at LBJ Hospital in Houston. In that role, he established a comprehensive Head and Neck Cancer Center where patient survival from these malignancies exceeded national levels.  He held a joint appointment as an assistant professor for The University of Texas Medical School at Houston in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery and in the Department of Oncology. He has trained in advanced Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and served as a general surgery intern at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston.  

Professional Asso​​ciations

Hob​​​bies and Interests

Dr. Weinstock enjoys playing guitar, photography, cycling and yoga.

Fun F​​acts

Dr. Weinstock’s father is his role model. He knew as early as kindergarten he wanted to be a physician. His guilty pleasure is frozen fudge pops. His favorite band is Pearl Jam, and his favorite historical figure is Benjamin Franklin - they even share the same birthday.​​

​Patients should be the primary decision maker in their care.  My role is to educate patients about available options and assist them in determining which is best for them, considering all aspects of their condition and life. I’m a strong advocate for individualized patient care. No one person completely fits the ‘textbook’ and no one particular standardized management usually fits the patient.
