Dr Martin Hanson

Dr Martin Hanson is an Otolaryngology Head & Neck surgeon with advanced training and subspecialty interests in Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery, Head & Neck Cancer Surgery, and Facial Plastic Surgery (particularly in rhinoplasty and in optimising aesthetic outcomes for cancer patients). He is one of a select group of Australian surgeons to be dual subspecialty trained in the USA, having completed accredited fellowships at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (Thyroid and Head & Neck Cancer) and the University of Virginia (Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery).

After successfully completing his Otolaryngology training in QLD and being awarded his Fellowship from the RACS, Dr Hanson journeyed with his young family to the US to pursue further training. He had the honour of being the first Australian ENT surgeon to be awarded a clinical fellowship post at the prestigious Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in New York, the cradle of modern Head & Neck Cancer and Thyroid Surgery. Whilst at MSK, Marty was exposed to world-first treatment protocols as part of his daily clinical practice and performed clinical research focused on thyroid, salivary disease and anterior skull base (pituitary) surgery. He was in the first cohort of surgeons to be certified in the Trans-Oral Robotic Surgery (TORS) Fellowship training program conducted by the American Head & Neck Society.
