Does anyone know of an ENT I can use for my ds who has fluid in his ears and doesn't seem to be hearing well? I would like to use someone who can do a hearing test in his office, instead of having to make 2 separate appointments. TIA.

Dr. Ari Goldsmith at Maimonides. You will need to specify that you want to have a hearing test done at the same time as your appt with Dr. Goldsmith.

Thanks. Is there still a few months wait for an appointment with him? The last time we used him, there was. He was very good though.

I think so Sad

I haven't been there in a while so it's worth a call to see if it is.

I figured. I can call if I have nobody else to try, but I'm not waiting 3 months. We can't live with all this screaming (me screaming so he can hear me and him screaming so he can hear himself) for that long without doing something.

I've had hearing test done by Shirley Pollack, who is very good, and I've also used The Ear Institute. But then I had to make a separate appointment for an ENT, which is a pain.

Dr. Rosenfeld is a great ENT. You should be able to get an appointment earlier than 3 months.

I've heard of him, but I don't think I've used him. Where is he located? At LICH? Does he do hearing tests in his office?

Queens is a bit far for us. I should have specified that Manhattan and Brooklyn are better.

His office is in downtown Brooklyn. He does hearing tests in his office. The phone number is 718 780 1498. I had very good experience with him

FWIW, his office in Bayside is right off of the Van Wyck/Clearview with lots of free parking. He is extremely kid friendly and they are an efficient office.

Thank you. I don't drive though.

I got an appointment with Dr. Rosenfeld, so I think we're all set. Thank you all for the suggestions.

Dr. Silverman ... He used to be in long island college hospital but since it closed down he is now only in mathadist... He helped us a lot with our ds ... He did a hearing test in his office which wasnt even planed ... We didnt have to wait for appt... Got it within few days ... He is the best with children... Takes his time to explain everything and takes every concern serious...
