Did anyone use this Dr from West Nyack and if so what was your experience with him?
Was recommended by him by pediatrician for tube placement in Good sam.
Im nervous about having the procedure done in Good Sam..

ETA: did anyone have ear tubes done in Good Sam? Were you happy with how it was done?
I know its primarily dependent on the provider but Im nervous about the anesthesiology...

I used Dr Merer and had procedures done in hospitals and Outpatient clinics.

My pediatrician doesn't recommend Good Sam for pediatric procedures, since apparently they don't have a pediatric Anesthesiologist.

I know many people that used Good Sam's outpatient surgery center and didn't have any issues.

I asked chaim medical they did not recommend using good Sam, they recommended dr lando or dr merer I think they’re in the same group.
I ended up using a dr in Manhattan because the wait was too long. My friend also used someone in ent and allergy office in nyack and was very happy just not sure the name

Correct.

There are many Dr's that perform procedures in Hospitals with a Pediatric Anesthesiologist.

So the office I used was in Nyack but they do the procedure in Good Sam. I'm assuming your friends practice did the procedure in Nyack Hospital?
