Dr. Kay-Rivest joined the otology and neurology team in 2022. Her expertise includes treating of a wide variety of ear pathologies (such as cholesteatoma, perforations, ossicular chain problems and otosclerosis); performing cochlear implants for hearing loss in children and adults; and operating on skull base tumours (vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas and paragangliomas).
