About Me
Diana N. Kirke, MD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery at Mount Sinai Doctors Faculty Practice, located at 5 East 98th Street. She received her medical degree from the University of Queensland and completed her Otolaryngology Residency via the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Adelaide, Australia.
After completing her training, she relocated to New York to complete a Research Fellowship and Masters in Neurolaryngology at Mount Sinai. This was followed by a Head and Neck Microvascular Fellowship at Boston University, and then a Laryngology Fellowship at both the New York Center for Voice and Swallowing Disorders and the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice.
Dr. Kirke has published multiple peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters in both Laryngology and Head and Neck Surgery. She has also presented at both national and international society meetings in these two subspecialty disciplines.
A member of the Grabscheid Voice and Swallowing Center of Mount Sinai and the Head and Neck Institute, Dr Kirke cares for patients with voice, airway and swallowing disorders and head and neck cancers.

Professionalism was shown immediately by the physician. Showing proposed treatment and answered all my questions without reservations.
Dr. Kirke is a superlative physician.

She is both personable and also extremely professional and establishes a patient/physician relationship that inspires complete confidence in her capacity as my physician. She is an exceptional physician, and I am grateful, privileged, and blessed to have her as my doctor. I speak not only as a patient, but as a retired emergency physician. [...]
Dr. Kirke always concerned about my health.
