Tarrytown, New York, Jan. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ENT and Allergy Associates, LLP (ENTA) recognizes that as the population and healthcare needs of the communities it serves continue to rise, so must the medical resources and expertise ENTA offers those communities.

Each ENTA clinical site offers highly specialized services from allergy testing, allergy treatments, asthma treatments, to immunotherapy. The group’s allergists work hand-in-hand with their ENT specialists to provide patients with the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art medical care. Many of the common disorders that are treated by an ear, nose and throat specialist are complications of allergic disease. AT ENTA, their otolaryngologists and allergy specialists work together as a team to provide faster diagnoses and comprehensive treatment plans so that patients benefit from this close collaboration.

Dr. Omar Waqar is a well-qualified and experienced allergist. After completing the prestigious seven-year Physician-Scientist combined BS/MD program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York, and Albany Medical College, he then pursued his residency in Internal Medicine at North Shore-Long Island Jewish with the Northwell Health System and a fellowship in Allergy and Immunology at the Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. Waqar is board certified by both the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Allergy and Immunology. Dr. Waqar is well-published in a variety of peer-reviewed journals and presents on different topics within Allergy and Immunology.
