Dr. Wassmuth grew up in Dallas and attended the University of Texas at Austin before completing his medical training at UT Medical Branch in Galveston and his residency at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C. After serving as Chief of Otolaryngology at Fort Hood for three years, he moved to Austin in 2003 and helped establish what is now Capital ENT & Sinus Center.
