NEWTON - Brandon Ma, D.O., has joined Newton Memorial Hospital as an ear, nose and throat specialist.

The addition of Dr. Ma will greatly increase the community's access to otolaryngology care. His expertise will complement ear, nose and throat services offered by Warren Galeos, M.D., who has been on staff at Newton Memorial for more than 20 years and who was 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 on filling a growing need in the region for ear, nose and throat 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.

Newton Memorial Hospital also has looked to fill the growing need for ear, nose and throat 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 and neck surgery and facial plastic surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Stratford, Camden County.

He lives in Sparta with his wife, Jessica, and their three young children.
