Distinguished Otolaryngologist Joins ENT and Allergy Associates

Tarrytown, N.Y. (September 26, 2018) – ENT and Allergy Associates LLP (ENTA) is proud to announce the newest addition to its roster of more than 200 board-certified ear, nose, throat, allergy and audiology specialists and sub-specialists. Effective March 1, 2019, otolaryngologist and fellowship-trained head and neck surgeon Jack E. Russo, M.D, will join the practice’s Brooklyn Heights office at 300 Cadman Plaza West, Suite 1301, Brooklyn, N.Y.

Dr. Russo will serve the needs of adult and pediatric patients alongside an elite clinical team, including otolaryngologists Sheldon Palgon, M.D., Francisca Yao, M.D., Tahl Colen, M.D., Paul Vastola, M.D., and allergist/immunologist Milo Vassallo, M.D.

“Having Dr. Russo join our team will be a wonderful development for both ENTA and the Brooklyn community,” said Dr. Yao, physician partner at the Brooklyn Heights office. “His advanced training in head and neck cancer medicine and surgery means more depth and breadth of overall available resources, so that the entire staff and patient population are sure to benefit.”

Dr. Russo earned his medical degree from the University of California Davis School of Medicine. He went on to complete his residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. He later obtained fellowship training for head and neck at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. Dr. Russo pursued his career in head and neck surgery due to the combination of surgical and non-surgical treatment, which allows for long-term relationships with many of his patients who have chronic or ongoing conditions. He chose to further specialize in oncologic and reconstructive surgery of the head and neck, which involves removing tumors of the face, nose, mouth, throat, and neck, as well as rebuilding those areas when necessary.

“At ENTA, our mission is to provide each of our patients with the finest medical care possible,” added Robert Green, M.D., president of ENTA. “There is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Russo is the kind of physician who will do just that. We are all looking forward to the assets and expertise he will bring to our offices.”

“We are presently working with the Brooklyn Veterans Administration to see if Dr. Russo can help provide his surgical services to our troops,” stated Robert Glazer, CEO of ENTA. “We have proudly served the needs of a growing patient population in Kings County for many years, and felt the time was right to add more resources to our roster of exceptionally-trained physicians. We are thrilled to have Dr. Russo become part of the team.”
