With Dr. Douglas Hetzler July.2013
 He is well known as the "Michelangelo of the ear canal" because  he introduced the chisel technque for Surfer's Ear surgery in this article:

Douglas G. Hetzler : Osteotome Technique for Removal of Symptomatic Ear Canal Exostoses: Laryngoscope 117:January 2007 Supplement

He has a lot of experience especially in surfer's ear surgery. I visited his clinic and received instruction about the chisel technique for surfer's ear surgery.

He is one of the best mentors of mine. We have kept in touch and discuss development in the procedure of surfer's ear sugery.
