David E. Krause MD is a board-certified Otolaryngologist trained at the University of Illinois, Chicago. During his residency, he was mentored by such notable ENT experts as Emanuel Skolnick and Burton Soboroff in head and neck surgery, Gabriel Tucker and Loren Holinger in pediatric otolaryngology, Joyce Schild in laryngology, Edward Applebaum and Richard Buckingham in otology, and M.

Over the years, in addition to his core practice of general adult and pediatric ENT medicine and surgery, Dr. Krause has expanded his services to include comprehensive audiology, hearing aids, allergy management, and office endoscopic sinus surgery. Facial reconstructive surgery and cosmetic medicine have been a staple of the practice, including Botox, dermal fillers, laser and radiofrequency procedures, microneedling treatments, nasal reconstruction, and facial trauma. He is a consulting practitioner in Florida and California, and is a visiting instructor in various facial restorative training programs.
