He later shifted to clinical research in thyroid cancer with Dr. Irving B. Rosen, a professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of Toronto. He is also a member of the Department of General Surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital and the University Health Network. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1996 and then completed a 5-year residency in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery in 2001.

He speaks both English and Polish.
