Meet Dr. Allison Chisholm
Growing up, Dr. Chisholm idolized her grandfather- a prominent small and large animal veterinarian in their community. Her time spent with him as a child led her to develop a deep love of and appreciation for both medicine and surgery. Her particular interest in Otolaryngology flourished during her medical school training at Temple University School of Medicine. She subsequently completed her residency training in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center where she decided to pursue further training in Pediatric Otolaryngology. She completed fellowship training at the Children's Medical Center through the University of Texas-Southwestern. She is Board Certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery.
Dr. Allison Chisholm was thrilled to join the Cook Children's Otolaryngology team in 2018. "The ability to impact a child's life, and in turn a whole family, has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had as a physician." Dr. Chisholm believes in the importance of practicing evidence based medicine and places an emphasis on listening to and incorporating the individual needs of a patient and their families when developing a plan of care. She treats all Pediatric Otolaryngology patients including those with hearing loss, sinus and skull base disease, airway and voice disorders, and benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck.
Outside of work, Dr. Chisholm enjoys spending time with her husband and their pets-a dog and a cat. She loves the outdoors and staying active and combines these loves whenever possible through running, hiking, swimming, and skiing. She also loves cooking and trying new recipes with her husband. Whenever able, she enjoys traveling to destinations that allow exploration of new places, cultures, food and/or experiences.

What our families say

Dr. Chisolm was amazing in listening to my questions and being open and informative about the plan of care. My son has something that isn't common, so she brought in one of her partner physicians to look and get another opinion. Watching two brilliant physicians collaborate and agree on a plan of care moving forward was wonderful to watch and also be a part of. I have complete confidence in CCMC providing exceptional care for my son. Audra and Megan (?) in the Sibling Support Center were great as well! My 4 1/2 year old had a blast playing while we were upstairs at little brother's appointment. I had no idea about this resource and that was SUCH a gift to me as a mom that day.

Dr. Chisholm is amazing and the few appointments we've had with her we always walk away feeling really good. She makes my daughter feel important and like she has a voice. She talks to her like a person and not over her. She does a fabulous job.

Dr. Allison Chisholm ((ENT Surgeon) and Dr. Ayodele Oke (Anesthesiologist) were not only outstanding doctors but also provided the best bedside manner we could have ever expected. This meant so much to us because we sought Dr. Chisholm after having a negative experience with a local ENT.

Dr. Chisolm!!! We were there for my oldest and I mentioned that we would see her the following week for (sibling's) surgery follow up and she offered to save us a trip and just check him. I was very appreciative. Working in an office setting, I personally know that it can alternate the rest of your schedule. So I am very thankful for working him in.
