Babak Givi, MD, MHPE - MSK Head and Neck Surgeon

Upper East Side residents facing complex head and neck conditions often find themselves weighing surgical options against less invasive treatments. Babak Givi, MD, MHPE specializes in precisely these cases, bringing a dual focus on oncologic precision and reconstructive outcomes to 530 East 74th Street. The practice concentrates on malignancies of the thyroid, salivary glands, oral cavity, and larynx—areas where surgical margins and functional preservation demand both technical skill and careful planning.

Across Yorkville and Lenox Hill, specialists like Dr. Givi help bridge the gap between aggressive disease control and post-surgical recovery. When imaging or biopsy results point toward resection, having a surgeon who also holds a master’s in health professions education can make a difference in how clearly risks and alternatives are explained.
