Dr. Gatti received his Medical Degree from Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine, Chicago, after completing Pre-Medical studies at the University of Notre Dame. A four year Otolaryngology residency program was completed at the prestigious New York University Medical Center under the direction of renowned Professor and Chairman John F. Daly, M.D. After fulfilling his two year military obligation at the Great Lakes Naval Hospital Otolaryngology Department with the rank of Lieutenant Commander, he joined the full-time staff at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois, where he served as Acting Chairman of the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, attaining the rank of Associate Professor. Dr. Gatti currently holds the rank of Clinical Professor at Loyola.

His special interests have included office laser surgery for snoring, chronic tonsillitis, and nasal congestion; implantable hearing devices, Neoglottic laryngeal surgery, salivary gland tumors, and reconstructive middle ear surgery. He received national exposure with his presentations on implantable hearing devices for conductive types of hearing loss. In the late 80's, Dr. Gatti appeared on national and local television and radio interviews, and was featured in articles about the implantable hearing device in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times, USA Today, Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal among other publications. The first physician in Lake County to perform office laser surgery for snoring, he has been interviewed on radio and television and featured in numerous newspaper articles on the subject. In 2001 he was featured on NBC and Fox TV regarding injection snoreplasty, an inexpensive and painless office treatment for snoring.

Otolaryngology - head and neck surgery is a specialty concerned with medical treatment and surgery of the ear, nose, throat and related structures of the head and neck. Otolaryngology is abbreviated from a still longer name - otorhinolaryngology. The latter derives more aptly from the Greek base words: oto - ear, rhino - nose, and laryn - throat. The specialty encompasses cosmetic facial reconstruction, surgery of benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck, management of patients with loss of hearing and balance, endoscopic examination of air and food passages and treatment of allergic, sinus, laryngeal, thyroid and esophageal disorders.
To qualify for the American Board of Otolaryngology certification examination, a physician must complete five or more years of specialty training after four years of Medical School. The well-trained otolaryngologist has a thorough knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, bio-chemistry, bacteriology, pharmacology and pathology of all those organs and physical structures in the head and neck region.
Virtually all ear, nose and throat specialists routinely handle cases such as tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, nose bleeds, infected mastoids and sinus disease. Those specially trained in ear work are well equipped to restore hearing through modern microsurgery or other operations used to correct deafness. Others have a special interest in neurotology and various problems of balance. The physician's qualifications and inclinations as well as community needs will influence the breadth and limits of an individual's practice.
