Dr. leonard berenholz, m.d., f.a.c.s
 Dr. Berenholz is originally from Philadelphia. His
medical education, surgical, and otolaryngology training were undertaken
in Philadelphia from 1979 through 1988. From 1988 until 1996, he was on
staff at several hospitals in Philadelphia, including the Einstein
Medical Center (a level 1 trauma center). In addition to working at
Einstein Medical Center, he was an instructor at Jefferson University
Hospital in Philadelphia. He was active in training residents at both
Jefferson University Hospital and at Einstein Medical Center.
From 1998 until 1999, Dr. Berenholz trained with the Lippy Group
Fellowship Program doing otologic reconstructive surgery. From 1999
until 2003, he directed otologic surgery at a large hospital in Israel.
In 2001, he was appointed Assistant Professor at Tel Aviv University of
Medicine. Dr. Berenholz has published thirty-three papers and two book
chapters.
In 2003, Dr. Berenholz rejoined the Lippy Group. The emphasis of his
practice is in hearing reconstructive surgery, especially in chronically
infected ears. Recently, he began performing surgery for placement of a
device known as the BAHA (bone anchored hearing aid). This device helps
patients who have single-sided deafness or who are not reconstruction
candidates and cannot benefit from a typical hearing aid.
