Maria,
When I saw you were from NJ I had to write to tell you about Dr. Soly Baredes at UMDNJ. He is an ENT surgeon and specializes in head and neck tumors. he has treated my mother since 2000. I have to say that he is the most wonderful doctor I have ever known--an excellent surgeon, well respected in the field, and the nicest, kindest man with a super bedside manner and wonderful staff. If you need a second opinion or know anyone who needs this kind of treatment in this state, Dr. Baredes is the one to contact.
