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.

Great

Excellent as always. Cosette is great as well. Dr. Aviv is so thoughtful and thorough. My only disappointment is the girl at the front. She wasn’t friendly and continued not to be.

Dr. Aviv has a caring, personable manner and the highest expertise in his field.

Dr. Aviv put me at ease immediately and provided a confident diagnosis at our first visit. His advice on managing my medical problem was spot-on. I feel much better after just a few weeks. He is the consummate doctor: a subject matter expert with a caring bedside manner.

I left feeling hopefully I might actually get better.

The nurse called me in at the exact appt time & when she was finished with gathering information from me & preparing me for the doctor, he came in soon afterwards.
Dr Aviv showed me the images from the scope, which was very useful.
He prescribed medication I told him I didn't want to take so I had to decline it the pharmacy.
His other suggestions were new to me & hopefully will be effective.
Dr Aviv is passionate about what he believes is effective & has a fine-tuned operation to make sure his patients know what is expected.

Very comprehensive and pleasant visit.

Dr Aviv was extremely knowledgable and informative. I drove down to NYC from Albany because I was told he was tops in the field. I would recommend Dr Aviv to anyone who is having issues with their throat.

Excellent visit.

Dr. Aviv is extremely knowledgeable, personable, caring and attentive to my concerns. At the end of each visit he provides a written* explanation of my diagnosis along with an action plan for me to follow. I leave the visit fully informed and never walk out with questions then or even later.

*I wish more doctors would do this .

Dr. Aviv is wonderful, caring and knowledgeable

Dr. Aviv provided compassionate care reassurance and a unique ,holistic plan of care. He explained everything very clearly and I am very grateful for his assistance and expertise in early intervention of serious illness. He is brilliant but he is able to talk to each patient on their level and makes them feel comfortable. He Is very thorough and collaborates with primary care, GI, allergist as needed. Everyone at the practice was professional, helpful and friendly.

Warm bedside manner and very knowledgeable

Dr Aviv helped diagnose a long standing problem that involved a hoarse voice, sore throat, post nasal drip and other issues of the head and neck. A FEESS procedure revealed that all this time I was suffering from voice granulomas, or ulcers, right on my vocal cords. I’m very big on salads with plenty of vinaigrette, as well as berries and citrus fruits. Who knew that would lead to damage to my throat? He prescribed a very simple and doable plan to reverse the damage to my esophageal area, which was to avoid vinegars, citrus, and carbonated drinks, use a steam inhaler for 5 min twice a day for a month or more and to drink smoothie recipes that he provided me with. Dr. Aviv gave me a peace of mind -and real solutions. Thank you so much!

very reassuring

I met with Dr. Aviv for the 1st time and it was just as I expected (based on the many positive reviews I'd read of him). He took time to explain my diagnosis and treatment plan. He was very knowledgeable of my issue (I've been suffering from tightness in my throat for months) and offered me comfort in that he immediately knew the cause of it and how to remedy it. My only con is that I have to travel into NYC to see him(I live in NJ)! But the visit was well worth it. Let's just hope the treatment works!

Life-changing

I had a throat ulcer that Dr. Aviv discovered a few months back. Today's followup visit showed that the ulcer has completely healed after following his direction on lifestyle changes and following his Acid Watcher Diet, which is an invaluable resource for acid reflux sufferers. Dr. Aviv is clear, compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable. I couldn't be more thrilled!
