    TARRYTOWN, NY, August 07, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- ENT and Allergy Associates, LLP (ENTA) is proud to announce the September 1 opening of its newest office in Hoboken, New Jersey. This state-of-the-art medical office will serve the growing patient population from Hoboken, Jersey City and the Newport area and our physicians and clinical staff will provide full service Otolaryngology, Audiology and Allergy medical services.

Hoboken represents the 30th ENTA clinical office location in communities throughout New York and New Jersey.

Wayne Eisman, MD the President for ENTA said, "We are very pleased to further grow our footprint in Northeast New Jersey, and will continue to grow into contiguous counties as long as we can maintain economies of scope and scale. We are disappointed that Dr Tahzib will not be able to continue to practice in Hoboken, but we are strongly committed to offer the highest level of care to both Allergy and ENT patients."

The Hoboken office is located near the entrance to the Holland tunnel and also has a PATH train station around the corner. This wonderful area is now served by light rail that runs North-South from Weehawken down to Newport. Hoboken is home to terrific restaurants, pubs and Cultural venues.
