She values tailoring treatment plans to each patient’s individual anatomy, symptoms, and goals.
Academic Involvement and Research

Philosophy of Patient Care
Dr. Masliah’s philosophy of care is rooted in compassion, honesty, and respect. She strives to treat every patient with the same attention and care she would want for her own family. She takes time to understand how symptoms affect each patient’s daily life and works collaboratively to develop treatment plans that align with their values and goals. By combining evidence-based medicine with a supportive and approachable style, she aims to improve both health outcomes and quality of life.
Building trust is central to Dr. Masliah’s practice. She prioritizes open communication, listens without judgment, and ensures patients fully understand their diagnosis, options, and expectations. She believes in following through, whether that means checking in after surgery or coordinating care with other providers, so patients know they are genuinely supported throughout their treatment.
Service, Teaching, and Global Health
During residency, Dr. Masliah participated in three medical mission trips to the Dominican Republic, where she helped provide ENT care and performed surgeries for patients who otherwise had little to no access to specialty care. She has also taken part in head and neck cancer screening outreach programs in underserved communities in Chicago. She is passionate about teaching and mentoring medical students and residents and plans to continue these educational relationships throughout her career.
Life Beyond the Clinic
Outside of medicine, Dr. Masliah enjoys yoga and spending time with her husband and their dog, Moose. They love hiking and camping and are excited to explore all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. A fun fact patients enjoy learning about her is that she once spent ten days camping in the Alaskan wilderness with her father, photographing Kodiak bears from remarkably close range, an experience that deepened her appreciation for patience, respect, and the natural world.
