New ENT doctor joins hospital

NEWTON — Brandon Ma, D.O., has joined Newton Memorial Hospital’s staff of physicians. The addition of Ma, an ear, nose and throat specialist, will greatly increase the community’s access to otolaryngology care. His expertise will complement ENT services offered by Warren Galeos, M.D., who has been on staff at Newton Memorial for more than 20 years and the only local provider of these services for much of that time. Galeos and Ma are both members of Skylands Medical Group in Andover Township and have privileges at Newton Memorial Hospital. Ma’s primary emphasis will be filling a growing need in the region for ENT services, such as head and neck surgery, but he also will provide access to elective cosmetic surgeries. These procedures include facial filler procedures such as Botox, Restylane and Juvaderm, as well rhinoplasty, limited facelifts and eyelid surgeries. The hospital has also looked to fill the growing need for ENT services with the recent addition of Shashidar Reddy, M.D., to the Medical and Surgical Specialty Group. Ma attended Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine where he became a Doctor of Osteopathy in 2003. He completed his internship, one year of General Surgery and Otorhinolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery and Facial Plastic Surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Stratford. Ma lives in Sparta with his wife Jessica and their three young children.
