Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (ENT) Now Provides Full Range of Specialized Care

Two New Faculty Members Complete Our Team

We are very pleased to announce that our Division of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (ENT) is now complete, with the addition of two key new team members who recently joined the division.

The five-member ENT faculty, under the direction of David A. Schessel, MD, PhD, associate professor of surgery, now provides a full range of specialized care for both adults and children with disorders of the ear, nose, and throat, plus related areas of the head and neck.

Our new faculty members, who have been practicing with us since they came to Stony Brook in the summer of 2010, are:

• Mark F. Marzouk, MD, assistant professor of surgery, who is a head and neck and endoscopic skull base surgeon; and
• Wasyl Szeremeta, MD, professor of surgery, who is a fellowship trained pediatric otolaryngologist.

Drs. Szeremeta and Marzouk join our three other ENT faculty, whose primary office is located at our facility in East Setauket, NY:

• Elliot Regenbogen, MD, assistant professor of surgery, who specializes in general ENT and laryngology;
• Ghassan J. Samara, MD, associate professor of surgery, who specializes in general ENT, rhinology (disorders of nose and sinuses), and endocrine surgery; and
• David A. Schessel, MD, PhD, associate professor of surgery and chief of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, who specializes in otology and neurotology (disorders of the ear, and related cancer and nerve pathway disorders).

In addition to our five physicians, our ENT team includes a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, and dedicated audiologist — all committed to our shared mission to provide outstanding, leading-edge otolaryngologic care.

The Division of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery further supports our university and academic community by serving as a center for outstanding teaching and research. It is anticipated that our residency program in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery will be re-established and gain full accreditation in the near future.

Our ENT physicians are joined by their colleagues at Stony Brook University Medical Center in the multidisciplinary treatment of cancer and endocrine problems of the head and neck; dysfunction of voice and swallowing; disorders of hearing and deafness; disorders of balance, dizziness, and falling; and the diagnosis and management of diseases of the skull base.
