About Me
I have always found dealing with serious and difficult disease most rewarding. Head and neck cancer care presents exceptional challenges for the patient and our team, but working with these patients facing great challenges is rewarding to me personally. To help put patients at ease, I try to inject humor into difficult situations whenever possible. My areas of expertise include salivary gland and thyroid cancers.
Conditions I Treat
- Head and neck cancers
- Salivary gland cancer
- Thyroid cancer
Professional Background
Dr Newlands primary research interest is in the physiology of the vestibular system, particularly in recovery from injuries to the inner ear. Anatomic, behavioral, and physiologic methods are used to investigate mechanisms of recovery that may lead to medical intervention.
Dr. Newlands was among the first graduates of the combined M.D.-Ph.D. program at the University of Texas Medical Branch, earning a Ph.D. in neuroscience along with his medical degree. He completed an internship in general surgery at Virginia-Mason Medical Center in Seattle, followed by a residency in otolaryngology at the University of Washington in Seattle. Dr. Newlands holds bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of California in Santa Barbara, and also earned a master's in business administration from the University of Texas in Austin.

Dr. Newlands is sincere and caring. I moved out of state and he made it his mission to reach me about my son's care.
Dec 12, 2022
The provider did not seem concerned that I wanted the biopsy and that I was anxious about this.[...] The resident he was working with was very nice and attentive and receptive to my feelings.
