Medical Profile of Dr. Richard Isaacs
“I joined
Kaiser Permanente in 1995 and have Advanced Certification in Head and Neck
Oncologic Surgery. My specialties include: orbital, nasal, and maxillofacial
surgery, as well as thyroid and parathyroid surgery. I function as a regional
resource for the management of advanced tumors of the head and neck and provide
the otolaryngologic approach for tumors at the skull base. Additionally, I am
trained in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery and perform rhinoplasty,
blepharoplasty, otoplasty, and rhytidectomy. I have an interest in post-tumor
facial reconstruction and facial reanimation surgery. I am a Fellow of the
American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and also a Fellow of
the American College of Surgeons.
I received
my Bachelor of Science degree, with Distinction, from the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor, and my Doctor of Medicine degree, with Honors, from
Wayne State University in Detroit. Then, I completed my Otolaryngology training
in New York at the Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital / New York
Hospital-Cornell Medical College. Subsequently, I received additional Head and
Neck Oncologic and Skull Base Surgical training from Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center and The University of California, Davis. I am also a 2004
graduate of the Kenan-Flagler School of Business Advanced Leadership Program,
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and the University of California, San
Francisco, CHCF Advanced Leadership Program.
“In April of
2005, I was appointed to the Physician-In-Chief and Chief-of-Staff positions
for the South Sacramento and Elk Grove Medical Facilities. I am very fortunate
to be able to continue my head and neck surgical practice and I greatly enjoy
my administrative position as well. I provide leadership to our 450
physicians/providers and more than 2000 nurses and staff who care for the
200,000 Kaiser Permanente members in the South Sacramento/Elk Grove area.”
