General Info
Dr. Jonathan Aviv is the Clinical Director of the Voice and Swallowing Center™‚ a division of ENT and Allergy Associates, LLP (ENTA) and author of the health and wellness book designed for non-medical professionals called "The Acid Watcher Diet: A 28-Day Reflux Prevention and Healing Program". He comes to the practice from Columbia University‚ where he served as Professor of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery‚ Director‚ Division of Laryngology and Medical Director‚ Voice and Swallowing Center at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Among his many substantive credentials‚ he is the inventor and developer of the endoscopic air-pulse laryngeal sensory testing technology known as FEESST (Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing with Sensory Testing) and a pioneer in the use of unsedated upper endoscopy known as Transnasal Esophagoscopy (TNE). He is a graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, and completed both internship in General Surgery and residency in Otolaryngology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and then added a Fellowship at Mount Sinai in Microvascular Head and Neck Reconstruction. In The Acid Watcher Diet, Dr. Jonathan Aviv gave acid reflux sufferers a pathway to healing, helping them identify the silent symptoms of acid damage and providing a two-phase eating and lifestyle plan to reduce whole-body acid damage and inflammation.Now, The Acid Watcher Cookbook widens the possibilities of what acid watchers can eat without repercussions. For many people struggling with acid damage, acidic foods like tomatoes, citrus fruits, vinegar, and reflux-inducing foods like raw onion and garlic, and chocolate are off-limits. After hearing patient after patient bemoaning the loss of vinaigrette, tomato sauce, ketchup, guacamole, and other staples, Dr. Aviv and coauthor Samara Kaufmann Aviv developed an innovative method of cooking that combines acidic foods with alkaline foods so that acidity is neutralized. By following a few simple guidelines, anyone will be able to enjoy dishes that had previously exacerbated their acid reflux symptoms.Dr. Aviv was Chairman of the Speech‚ Voice and Swallowing Disorders Committee of the American Academy of Otolaryngology/ Head and Neck Surgery‚ the Technical Advisor to the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research branch of the Department of Health and Human Services regarding swallowing problems in the elderly and former President of both the American Broncho-Esophagological Association (ABEA) and The New York Laryngological Society.

Fantastic experience all around

Professional, knowledgeable, kind-hearted, and friendly. Dr. Aviv really took the time to describe the process along the way (keeping me informed), gave a proper diagnosis, and made the experience a fun one. Also, the other staff members are very friendly, helpful, and courteous. I felt like I was amongst friends the entire time, which made my whole experience a very pleasant one. Can’t recommend this location enough. 10 out of 10!

100% recommend

Dr Aviv is the ENT you need, he knows his stuff and SPEAKS and LISTENS to you. He isn't quick to prescribe medications. Rather, he looks for the underlying cause for your symptoms and explains to you how such a problem can be fixed.

I didn't fill out the question about follow-up since it hasn't happened yt.yet

Dr. Aviv has a deep understanding of my health condition and what form of treatment works best for me. He answers all my questions (even when they are based on misunderstandings!) and is generally upbeat, which is encouraging. I always feel better after seeing him.

Pleasant, informative and warm.

I have always known Dr.Aviv to be extremely well-trained and fully capable in dealing with my situation. Since I have seen him for the past few years, my voice has remained stable and my Gerd has been controlled. Dr. Aviv is an exceptional physician.

Answers all questions, followed up on issue, referred me to appropriate specialist. .

I have a very complex problem and he seems to be the only person on the planet that has an idea of what is going on and how to treat it, My only wish was that I properly treated this 3 years ago.

i wanted to hug Dr Aviv before my visit was over

If I engaged in conversation for more than 10 minutes I would be more more and more hoarse. I'd been told I needed surgery on my vocal cords. A frightening prospect as I am a working voice over artist. That doctor had IMHO treated me poorly so...I sought a 2nd opinion. Thank God I did! Dr. Aviv's natural approach to resolving my issue is projected to have me back in the booth within a couple of months. His sincerity and genuine concern are just.... Wonderful! So Happy that I took the time to make this appointment.

He's just such a wonderful diagnostician and caring doctor - as a patient I know he sincerely wants the best for me - he has helped me to improve my ENT health particularly, as well as my over all health in general, He proscribes natural and life enduring cures through food and products without side effects. I am ever grateful + appreciative.

Dr. Aviv’s food-as-medicine approach just makes sense

I appreciate the doctor’s willingness to get at the root cause and not just treat symptoms. So far, so good!

Great experience. Having a nasopharyngeal scope there and then and a diagnosis in real times is so advanced and so reassuring
