About me

Dr. Kennedy was among the first to recognize the advantages of endoscopic sinus surgery and minimally invasive skull-base surgery to improve the diagnosis and treatment of sinonasal disease. He brought endoscopic technology to the U.S., where he helped to develop its applications and to disseminate them through teaching at Penn and around the world. His work has transformed treatment and outcomes for multitudes of head and neck surgery patients. Through his leadership roles at Penn Medicine, Dr. Kennedy has helped to develop new programs and set standards for patient care. He chaired the Department of Otorhinolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and served as Vice Dean for Professional Services for the Perelman School of Medicine and Senior Vice President of UPHS.
