Dr. Moufid John H. Abdo’s interest in medicine
began in childhood and continues to spur his
desire to bring patients effective treatments for
head and neck disorders. Dr. Abdo is a general
ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist who is board
certified in head and neck surgery by the American
Board of Otolaryngology and treats patients of
all ages. “I like to stay at the forefront of what is
available, and I’m always trying to get the best
technology and treatments,” he said. “I am eager
to learn new things that I can apply in my practice
to benefit my patients, and I don’t mind filling
gaps, if needed, to provide additional service to
the community.”
One of the advanced treatments Dr. Abdo performs
is the ultra minimally invasive balloon sinuplasty,
which is done in the office under local anesthesia
to establish natural drainage of the sinuses. He
also is skilled at sinus surgery, including difficult
sinus polyp cases, repair of cerebrospinal fluid
leaks, and nasal obstructions. Dr. Abdo also works
with adults and children with obstructive sleep
apnea, and he treats head and neck masses, such
as enlarged lymph nodes, which can be caused
by infections such as Lyme disease or cat scratch
disease. “I also see many patients with a broad
range of throat complaints,” he said, “which can
include hoarseness or difficulty swallowing.”
Dr. Abdo has 30 years of experience and joined
the Silverstein Institute from a practice in upstate
New York where he earned recognition from
colleagues and patients. He also served as the Chief
of ENT Section for the Department of Surgery at
UHS Hospitals and Clinics in Johnson City and
as Clinical Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology
at the Binghamton Campus, Upstate Medical
University, College of Medicine SUNY. “I try to
be as thorough as possible, and I believe patients
should expect to be really taken care of. I don’t
take a cookie cutter approach,” Dr. Abdo said.
“Every patient is special, and I try to give each
one the attention they deserve.”
