Dr. Alicia Quesnel is a member of the Mass. Eye and Ear Otology and Neurotology Division. She is fellowship-trained in complex ear and skull base surgery and board-certified in otolaryngology and neurotology. She is committed to providing the highest quality care for infants, children, and adults with hearing loss, ear diseases, and conditions affecting the facial nerve and balance system. 

Her clinical practice focuses primarily on surgery for otosclerosis (stapedectomy), cochlear implant surgery, chronic ear disease (including cholesteatoma and repair of tympanic membrane perforations), and skull base surgeries, including vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma), spinal fluid leak repair, and management of intratemporal facial nerve conditions. She has been avid proponent of endoscopic ear surgical techniques and utilizes a tailored approach, ranging from totally endoscopic surgery to combination endoscopic and microscopic surgical techniques for chronic ear disease.

Her research interests focus on the histopathology of the temporal bone, particularly related to otosclerosis and post-cochlear implantation pathology. She is an Investigator in Mass. Eye and Ear's Otopathology Laboratory, which houses one of the world’s largest and most well-curated human temporal bone collections.

She received her medical degree from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, prior to completing her residency in otolaryngology at Harvard Medical School. Subsequently, she completed her fellowship training in neurotology and skull base surgery at Mass. Eye and Ear.
