Philosophy of Care

My goal is to provide experienced specialty care in a manner that is compassionate. Each patient is valued as a unique individual. I communicate with patients and their families with kindness and empathy. Providing excellent care while taking the time for the patient and family to feel comfortable about medical decisions is of utmost importance.

Clinical Interests

Dr. Aizenberg specializes in the treatment of diseases of the ears, nose, throat, sinuses and head and neck region. Her services include comprehensive management of hearing and balance disorders, sinus and nasal problems, and sleep apnea. In addition, she has a special interest in pediatric disorders of the ears, nose, and throat and providing care for children is a significant part of her practice.
