Anna Bareiss, M.D.
As a board-certified otolaryngologist–head and neck surgeon, Dr. Anna Bareiss (“BAR-ice”) is committed to providing her patients with exceptional and comprehensive care. Originally from Chicago, Illinois, she completed her undergraduate studies in biology at Washington University in St. Louis, graduating Magna Cum Laude. She earned her medical degree at Tulane University as a Jack Aron Memorial Scholar and was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. She was awarded the Glasgow-Rubin Citation for Academic Achievement and both the James W. McLaurin, MD Award and the Harold G. Tabb, MD Award for accomplishments in otolaryngology.
Dr. Bareiss met her husband (a native Californian) in medical school, so she was thrilled to continue their time together at Tulane University, where she completed her residency in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery. During her training, she received the Lejeune Symposium Resident Research Award twice. She was inspired by a special mentor, Dr. Mary Fazekas-May, to strive to provide comprehensive, patient-centered ear, nose and throat care. She decided to pursue additional training in otology (the study of the ear) to focus on disorders of hearing and balance, as well as cochlear implantation. She completed fellowship training at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences with Dr. John Dornhoffer, a world-renowned expert in the field.
Dr. Bareiss is thrilled to bring her inherent Midwestern values and warm Southern bedside manner to the patients of Southern California. At her core, she believes the key to delivering excellent patient care is achieved through listening to her patients and understanding their concerns. She provides care in all aspects of otolaryngology to pediatric and adult patients.
While not in the clinic or operating room, you will find Dr. Bareiss spending time with her daughter and husband. For fun, she enjoys running in the canyon, eating vegetarian cuisine or traveling. She looks forward to meeting you and/or your kids in the clinic!
