Elisa M. Lynskey, MD

I am grateful for the opportunities and skills that have allowed me to become a physician. The profession gives me the chance to reach people and make their lives better. I cannot imagine doing anything else. I look forward to the personal interaction with my patients and the collaboration with other physicians when dealing with a complicated issue. I enjoy working with patients of all ages and deal with a full spectrum of ENT disorders. I chose to specialize in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery because of the wide variety of conditions and the unique surgical procedures.

I was raised in Clearwater and attended the International Baccalaureate program at St. Petersburg High School. I attended UF and USF and went to Manhattan to complete my training. I greatly enjoyed my time in New York, but am excited to be back in the Tampa area with close friends and family. In my free time, I take full advantage of everything that the Tampa area has to offer and love to be outside, whether on the beach or downtown.
