VALHALLA N.Y. (October 5, 2020) — Advanced ENT Services is the newest practice within WMCHealth Physicians, the medical group of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth). The 10-office practice provides a wide range of otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) primary care and specialty services throughout the Hudson Valley as well as the Bronx. Services include primary ear, nose and throat care, including treatment for hearing loss and therapy for balance problems and, through WMCHealth's advanced care centers, surgical procedures for complex neck/throat, nasal/sinus, ear and skull base conditions.
WMCHealth Physicians: Advanced ENT Services, which previously served the community as ENT Faculty Practice for more than 30 years, also offers children's ear, nose and throat care services provided by physicians trained in pediatric otolaryngology.
Each WMCHealth Physicians: Advanced ENT Services practice location is accepting new patients and takes most insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid. Appointments can be scheduled with a call to 914.693.7636 or requested online. The Balance Center and the Cochlear Implant Center can be reached through 914.493.4634. WMCHealth Physicians: Advanced ENT Services also offers the convenience of telemedicine appointments.
Practice-based Ear, Nose & Throat Care Supported by WMCHealth Hospital Services
Many of the ear, nose and throat procedures performed by WMCHealth Physicians: Advanced ENT Services can be performed safely and conveniently in the medical practice's offices, with more complex surgical procedures performed at Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of the WMCHealth Network or at WMCHealth's Maria Fareri Children's Hospital. Both hospitals are regional referral centers for advanced care located in Valhalla, NY., and easily accessible from most Hudson Valley and Bronx locations.
"Bringing this established practice under the auspices of the growing WMCHealth Physicians has enhanced the services we are able to provide to our established and future patients," said Augustine Moscatello, MD, Director, Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, Westchester Medical Center. "Our physicians are all certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, and they work collaboratively with practice colleagues with fellowship training in distinct areas of otorhinolaryngology. This team-based strategy is key when conditions become complex and now that we are teamed with WMCHealth, patients have seamless, one-provider access to the network's vast resources, which include state-of-the medical technologies and a workforce with advanced clinical skills."
