He is licensed in Medicine by the State of New York and Board-Certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology.
A seasoned ENT physician, Dr. Vastola joins ENTA from Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY where he served as the Director of Pediatric Otolaryngology as well as Associate Director of the Cleft Lip and Palate service. He has also served as Assistant Professor of Surgery at SUNY Downstate.
