Katrina Stidham, M.D., is a fellowship-trained neurotologist and skull base surgeon specializing in the medical and surgical management of ear and hearing disorders. She serves as chief of neurotology and the director of The Cochlear Implant Center and The Balance Center at Westchester Medical Center.
Dr. Stidham’s practice encompasses care of both pediatric and adult patients with ear diseases, hearing loss, dizziness, balance disorders, and facial nerve conditions. Her areas of expertise include cochlear implantation, congenital and age-related hearing loss, pediatric otology, cholesteatoma, Ménière’s disease, vestibular disorders, acoustic neuromas, otosclerosis, and chronic ear infections.
Since joining WMCHealth in 2009, Dr. Stidham has been passionate about building a comprehensive Cochlear Implant Center that provides care for pediatric and adult patients with hearing loss. The Center offers cutting-edge technology and surgical advances to patients of all ages, conducts clinical research, and hosts annual educational programs for families and professionals caring for children with cochlear implants. In 2024, Dr. Stidham became the first surgeon in New York to perform robotic-assisted cochlear implantation.
