Dr. Ryan Osborne, MD, FACS

Dr. Ryan Osborne is a preeminent figure in Eagle Syndrome surgery and serves as the Director of Head and Neck Surgery at the Osborne Head and Neck Institute (OHNI) in Los Angeles, California. OHNI has become a global referral center for complex Eagle Syndrome cases, attracting patients from around the world seeking expert surgical care.

Board-certified in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Osborne completed his fellowship training in Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery at UCLA. His extensive surgical experience and specialized training make him uniquely qualified to handle the most challenging Eagle Syndrome presentations, including vascular Eagle Syndrome cases involving compression of the carotid artery or jugular vein.

Dr. Osborne has developed a comprehensive approach to Eagle Syndrome treatment that emphasizes thorough diagnostic workups, including advanced 3D CT imaging, to precisely map elongated styloid processes and their relationship to surrounding neurovascular structures. His surgical technique prioritizes complete styloidectomy while minimizing trauma to adjacent tissues.

Understanding that many Eagle Syndrome patients travel significant distances for care, OHNI has established a fly-in protocol specifically designed for out-of-town and international patients. This streamlined process coordinates consultations, imaging, surgery, and follow-up care to minimize the burden on traveling patients.
