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.

Amazing experience

I have seen many doctors this past year with a problem I am having and Dr. Aviv seemed to know what my issue was instantly before even looking at me that the other doctors have not seen. He is a complete expert in his field and I left feeling much more comfortable about my problem being solved. Would recommend to anybody.

Most productive doctor visit ever!

Dr Aviv was amazing and brilliant. After years of trying one thing after another and going to different specialists, Dr. Aviv was able to get to the bottom of things. He was so thorough and took the time to explain things so clearly. He looked at my issues the way none of my previous doctors had. I left with a very clearly described plan with how to move forward. I can't wait to get started so I can feel better in the future. Thanks so much Dr. Aviv!

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

Dr Aviv cured my chronic cough that I suffered from for over 15 years. He is the only doctor that diagnosed me correctly, and the treatment couldn’t have been easier. I feel so blessed to have found Dr. Aviv. Thank you Dr. Aviv!!

Dr. Aziz solved a mystery

I was frightened because I didn't know what was wrong. Dr. Aziz listened to a complicated story and solved a mystery: I have nerve damage from Covid that affects my breathing. He told me exactly what to do next. He was a bit impatient because I came unprepared: bring names of doctors and dates of visits! He wrote all my doctors his diagnosis. This was excellent care.

Fantastic Doctor, The best there is.

Dr. Aviv truly cares about his patients. He took all the time necessary to explain my issues. I never felt rushed. I can’t say enough good things about him. The office staff and his assistant were equally as nice. What a great experience under these circumstances.
