Philosophy
Dr. Jay appreciates the importance of both connecting with the patient and maintaining an open dialogue with his/her parents. As a father of five, Dr. Jay strives to relate to the child and parents as he would want a doctor to relate to him and his own children. Despite being a skilled and accomplished surgeon, Dr. Jay tries to explore all reasonable non-surgical options with parents,
reserving surgery for the children who really need such intervention. Background
Dr. Jay is a fellowship-trained pediatric ENT, one of only a handful in Israel today. After making aliyah in 2000 from Toronto, Canada, Dr. Jay specialized in Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery at Hadassah Ein Kerem (Jerusalem). Dr. Jay then sub-specialized in pediatric ENT at the largest childrens' hospital in San Diego, California. He later returned to Israel when he was recruited by Schneider Children's Hospital as a senior pediatric ENT surgeon. Dr. Jay currently serves as the nation-wide department head of TEREM Urgent Care Clinic's ENT department and as a specialist consultant for Laniado Hospital in Netanya.
