- Director, Division of Sleep Surgery
Primary Academic Title
Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
Background
Kevin Motz is fellowship-trained in laryngology and sleep medicine. His clinical practice focuses on the management of airway and voice disorders, with a particular emphasis on the management of laryngotracheal stenosis and idiopathic subglottic stenosis. Additionally, Dr. Motz sees patients with obstructive sleep apnea who are intolerant of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), offering surgical and nonsurgical approaches to care.
His research interests include investigating immunologic mechanisms promoting fibrosis in laryngotracheal stenosis. Specifically, he is focused on determining how innate and adaptive immune cells influence fibroblast activation, function and, ultimately, wound healing in the larynx and trachea. In addition, Dr. Motz is exploring identifying unique physiologic biomarkers in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, which may predict a successful response to non-CPAP therapies.

Dr. Motz had thoroughly studied my extensive chart before I saw him. He was warm, caring and above all had ideas my previous doctors had not explored. He immediately followed up on one idea and has communicated with me by email since. I feel confident he can help me find a solution to my severe sleep apnea, something others have failed at.

Very nice and answered all of my questions thoroughly and even went above and beyond to order my CPAP machine after I explained that I hadn't been able to do it yet as well as giving me referrals to assist me in finding a surgeon that might be able to do the procedure I need to have done.

When I started to look for a provider, Johns Hopkins Medicine was one of two options. I was assigned to Dr. Motz because of my conditions in my neck. I'm from Virginia, and this state does not have a surgeon with the knowledge and skills like Dr. Motz. Since my initial consultation with Dr. Motz, he accomplished the end result I was looking for. Superior Surgeon!!

Dentist needed me to test for sleep apnea before prescribing a night guard or bite guard. Dr. Motz completed the physical examination efficiently; discussed various questions that came up and arranged for me to receive a test for sleep apnea. I got a phone message already to make arrangements to get the test kit.
