Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
UT Southwestern Medical Center

Teresa Chan-Leveno, M.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Dr. Chan-Leveno attended the University of Pennsylvania for her undergraduate degree in Biological Basis of Behavior, received her medical degree from Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia and completed an internship in general surgery and a residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Boston Medical Center. Dr. Chan-Leveno currently serves as Chief of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Parkland Hospital. Over the past 4 years she has served as VP and then President of the Medical Staff at Parkland. Most recently she was asked to serve as Acting Chief Medical Officer for 3 months while Parkland’s current CMO fulfilled a humanitarian infrastructure rebuilding project in Puerto Rico. She has actively engaged in committees and leadership at Parkland and UT including the Medical Executive Committee, Surgical Services Executive Committee, Executive Quality Committee, Peer Review Oversight Committee, Credentialing Committee, Bylaws Committee, and the Professionalism Committee among others. She is Chair of the Peri-Operative Value Analysis Committee and Physician Leader of the Tracheostomy Care Teams at both Parkland and UT Southwestern which she established from the ground up. Dr. Chan is an active clinician. She enjoys practicing and teaching the depth and breadth of Otolaryngology as a General Otolaryngologist. She has been invited speaker to several local symposiums on the topic of sleep medicine and tracheostomy care but has long resisted niching herself into a single subspecialty area of practice as she enjoys the complexity and diversity of all that Otolaryngology has to offer. Among the honors and recognitions Dr. Chan-Leveno has received are the UTSW Department of Otolaryngology Resident Appreciation Award and the American Medical Women’s Association Janet M. Glasgow Memorial Achievement Award. She is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Student Honor Society.
