She has extensive experience in pediatric and adult voice conditions and has a strong interest in the treatment of airway disorders.
Though Dr. Statham practices the full breath and depth of pediatric otolaryngology, she has a particular interest in pediatric voice disorders, and is one of the only providers in Metro Atlanta who offers pediatric videostroboscopy services. Dr. Statham also sees adults with laryngeal and airway disorders.
A native Kentuckian, Dr. Statham is an avid UK basketball fan. Dr. Statham is the mother of three children, and she feels strongly that being their mother helps her be a better pediatric otolaryngologist on a daily basis. She enjoys camping, hiking, and travel.
