Summary
Dr. Benjamin Rafii, MD is a board-certified otolaryngologist and throat surgeon in Beverly Hills who brings a rare blend of laryngologic craftsmanship and artistic sensitivity to vocal care. Known for a patient-centered approach to “vocal stewardship,” he combines rigorous surgical and medical training with a deep appreciation for expression and individuality, offering world-class care for people who rely on their voice for work and self-expression. His practice emphasizes precision, voice longevity, and individualized treatment plans that treat the whole person — not just the vocal cords.
In addition to his expertise in voice and airway disorders, Dr. Rafii is a highly experienced thyroid and parathyroid surgeon, with a particular focus on meticulous, nerve-sparing surgery that prioritizes voice preservation, calcium balance, and long-term quality of life. He routinely manages benign and malignant thyroid nodules, goiter, hyperthyroidism, and primary hyperparathyroidism, applying …the same precision and anatomical respect that define his laryngology practice.
Uniquely qualified by elite training and academic distinction, Dr. Rafii earned his medical degree from Stanford, completed otolaryngology residency at New York University, and finished a fellowship in Laryngology and Care of the Professional Voice at the UCLA Voice Center for Medicine and the Arts. He is board-certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and is a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology and the American Laryngological Association. Recognized as an LA ENT Top Doctor by Los Angeles Magazine (2021–2026) and a Castle Connolly Top Doctor (2025–2026), Dr. Rafii is a trusted specialist for performing artists, teachers, business professionals, and patients seeking expert care of the voice, thyroid, and parathyroid.
Dr. Rafii’s passion for vocal health is rooted in his own musical life — he is a classically trained pianist and grew up inspired by his sister, an ordained cantor — which gives him a lived understanding of the physical, mental, and emotional demands placed on professional voices. He champions a holistic, evidence-based model of care that addresses airway, swallowing, reflux, endocrine health, and overall well-being alongside targeted surgical and nonsurgical treatment. He would love to make a difference for you.
