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.

Outstanding doctor

Dr. Aviv is truly special. Not only is he a highly respected expert in his field, he actually listens and spends time with you to get to know you and to fully understand your given situation. His vast experience is also helpful in identifying underlying conditions that may impact the voice and/or vocal cords. He's one of my faves and is OUTSTANDING!

Excellent experience from start to finish

Dr. Avid was forthright in explaining the procedure he would do and explaining the findings. He took time to listen to my concerns as well as thoroughly explain his recommendations for treatment going forward. He also notified my PCP as well as other specialists about his finding & future treatment.

Finally have a diagnosis after years of suffering

I've suffered with chronic cough on and off for years with no relief for the last 2 years. None of my doctors could figure out exactly what the problem was they just kept saying reflux. When I started to read the acid Watchers diet I decided to see Dr.. Aviv and I finally found a doctor who knew what was wrong with me. For the first time in two years I have hope that my cough will finally go away instead of getting worse the way it has been. For the first time in a long time forward to that light at the end of the tunnel where having a constant cough is not part of my life.

I am so grateful that Dr Aviv was able to help me

Dr Aviv listened to my symptoms and after some testing was able to diagnose me. The medication he prescribed has really helped me.
I also am grateful that he believed I had a problem and didn’t just pass it off to it is all in my mind.

A wonderful expectation of Dr. Aviv

It was a pleasure meeting Dr. Aviv and I felt confident with his diagnosis and experience. The only negative thing I have to say is that I felt pressured in having to be told that a Covid vaccination I should have to protect me and others. I feel it’s my body, my choice. But at the same time I respect his opinion being in the medical profession.

Very thorough in assessment, discussion, explanation, diagnosis.

Good office and staff atmosphere. Professional and congenial. Very efficient in assessing and diagnosing the problem and explaining and providing action plan and necessary information and prescriptions and referrals. Follow-up is scheduled but not yet had so that's why that rating is lower.
We have confidence that this problem will actually be solved thanks to Dr. Aviv.
