DR. JAY WOHLGELERNTER
Pediatric Ear, Nose & Throat,
Head & Neck Surgery Specialist
Philosophy
Dr. Jay appreciates the importance of both connecting with the patient and maintaining an open dialogue with his/her parents. As a father of five, Dr. Jay strives to relate to the child and parents as he would want a doctor to relate to him and his own children.
Despite being a skilled and accomplished surgeon, Dr. Jay tries to explore all reasonable non-surgical options with parents, reserving surgery for the children who really need such intervention.
