We are commonly referred to as ENT physicians.

  • What problems do Otolaryngolgist treat?

    We provide medical and surgical treatment of disorders of the ear, nose, and throat for children and adults. This includes nasal and sinus disease, nasal deformity, chronic ear infections, allergy, snoring and sleep apnea, disorders of balance and hearing, as well as swallowing and vocal dysfunction. We also manage problems of the thyroid, parathyroid, and salivary glands.

  • When will I receive lab or test results?

    You will receive a call right away for any lab or test results that require urgent attention and we may wish to see you in the office to discuss these results. Other results will be addressed promptly by the physician who ordered the labs or tests. Please allow 7 business days for us to receive your results prior to contacting the office. You are welcome to call our office to request a copy of your results.

  • How do I obtain a prescription refill?

    Please call our main office number at (973) 644-0808 and allow three business days for all routine prescription refills. For prescriptions that require prior authorization from your insurance company, please plan ahead to allow at least three to five days for refill approval. Routine prescription refills cannot be handled after hours or on weekends. If you have pain medicine from surgery and may be running out, please call our office during regular business hours as these prescriptions often cannot be refilled at night and on weekends by the on-call physician.
