He specializes in complex revision endoscopic sinus surgery, endoscopic approaches to the orbit, and the endoscopic management of sinonasal and skull base tumors, including inverted papilloma, esthesioneuroblastoma (also known as olfactory neuroblastoma) and pituitary tumors. He routinely collaborates with colleagues in neurosurgery, ophthalmology, head and neck oncology, and facial plastic surgery to deliver multidisciplinary, patient-centered care. Dr. Ramanathan has consistently been recognized for his patient-centered approach to care as a “Top Doctor” by Bethesda Magazine, Washingtonian, Northern Virginia Magazine and Castle Connolly.  

He earned his undergraduate degree from Yale University and medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Dr. Ramanathan completed an internship in general surgery and residency in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery at Johns Hopkins, followed by fellowship training in advanced endoscopic sinus and minimally invasive skull base surgery at Johns Hopkins.

He is passionate about continuously evaluating and improving care delivery processes across all clinical sites for the department. 

As a surgeon-scientist, Dr. Ramanathan leads a National Institutes of Health-funded research program that was among the first to establish the link between air pollution and chronic rhinosinusitis from an epidemiologic and basic science perspective. He has received numerous prestigious research awards and grants; has published over 110 peer-reviewed articles, reviews and book chapters; and is frequently invited to speak about his research at national and international meetings.
