Background and Training
Dr. C. Ian Newberry is originally from a small, rural southeast Missouri town in the middle of the “Ozarks” where he graduated Valedictorian of his high school class then attended undergrad at a top ranked pre-medical school, Saint Louis University. After graduating college with the highest honors, summa cum laude, Dr. Newberry graduated at the top of his medical school class with cum laude honors, scored in the top 1% on the national board examinations, and was one of four students selected as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) medical honor society.
With his love of the mountains and surgery, he was accepted into the University of Utah Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency program, which is consistently nationally ranked as a top 20 Otolaryngology program and is well-known for being one of the busiest resident operative experiences in the nation. He achieved great success during residency where he scored in the top 1% nationally every year on the otolaryngology specific examination, gave numerous national conference presentations around the country, and published over 30 journal publications and book chapters. Following residency, he was accepted into a distinguished Pediatric Otolaryngology and Craniofacial Reconstruction fellowship at a top ranked program, Washington University in St. Louis (WashU). Now a clinical professor at Brown, Dr. Newberry practices medical, surgical and cosmetic otolaryngology, treating most aspects of the head and neck in patients of all ages.
When not working or spending time with his wife and two children, Dr. Newberry devotes his time to running, working out, and enjoys many outdoor hobbies—skiing, mountain biking, camping, and paddleboarding (still trying to learn to surf well)
