His specific subspecialty focus is on the care of head and neck cancer patients. He is a surgical oncologist and a reconstructive surgeon. These skill sets complement one another in helping patients overcome their cancer diagnosis while maintaining their form and function.
Dr. Roden grew up on the south shore of Long Island. He earned a degree in Biological Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He then went on to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai where he completed both Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Masters of Public Health (MPH) programs. He continued his training in Manhattan by joining the Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery residency at New York University (NYU). At NYU Dr. Roden earned multiple research awards and travel grants.

Dr. Roden has published multiple manuscripts on Human Papillomavirus (HPV) associated oropharyngeal cancer, which has recently become the most common type of head and neck cancer. During fellowship, he received robust training on the application and use of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for the treatment of HPV associated oropharynx cancer. He aspires to expand his research interests by becoming more involved in clinical trial design and execution.
Dr. Roden has a passion for international surgical education. He has volunteered on many surgical teaching trips to countries such as Mongolia, Vietnam, Philippines, India, and Haiti.
