About Me

Peter Filip, MD, is a rhinologist and skull base surgeon at Rush. He earned his medical degree at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine and completed his residency in otolaryngology at Mount Sinai Hospital. He completed his fellowship in neurorhinology and advanced rhinology at Rush University Medical Center.

Filip’s specialties focus on the nose and the sinuses. This includes taking care of nasal breathing problems, sinus polyps, inflamed sinuses, clogged noses from allergies and deviated septum among other issues. In rare cases, tumors originate in the sinuses. Filip removes these sinus tumors with surgery. Other tumors originate from eye sockets or the brain and can be reached through the nostrils and sinuses with minimally invasive tools. Filip also helps fix brain fluid leaks through the nose, which usually happen due to breaks or injuries to the bone of the skull base. He performs most of these surgeries with a small camera through the nostrils.

Filip believes that each patient deserves a tailored approach according to their biology, personal preference and individual background, because every person and case is unique.

When he is not with patients, Filip plays ice hockey, cycles, participates in triathlons and enjoys art. He has been making ceramics and glass for about 20 years and hopes someday to earn a fine arts degree. He is very passionate about global health and helping people in other countries who cannot afford or do not have access to advanced surgical care.
