About
Zachary Gandee is a physician-researcher whose work centers on improving postoperative pain management in otolaryngology, with a particular focus on evidence-based opioid-prescribing practices. His most impactful study, “Postoperative opioid‐prescribing practices in otolaryngology: A multiphasic study” (2019), has garnered 48 citations and represents a critical step toward addressing the lack of standardized guidelines in the field. As the first phase of a multiphasic institutional project, this work systematically investigated opioid prescription patterns, laying the groundwork for safer, more effective pain management protocols. Gandee’s contributions are especially timely amid the ongoing opioid crisis, as his research directly informs clinical decision-making to reduce unnecessary opioid exposure while ensuring adequate postoperative analgesia. By bridging the gap between practice and evidence, he has helped shape a more responsible prescribing culture in otolaryngology. His work is a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers seeking to balance pain control with patient safety, and it underscores his commitment to translating rigorous data into actionable clinical change.
