Dr. Jourdy's Bio

A magna cum laude graduate of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, Dr. Deya Jourdy, M.D. attended and graduated medical school at Weill Medical College of Cornell University. He then completed his joint residency at the Columbia University and Cornell University campuses of the New York Presbyterian Hospital (where he received the prestigious Distinguished Housestaff Award for exemplary service), and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. After his residency, Dr. Jourdy completed an additional year of training during a fellowship in Rhinology and Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery devoted exclusively to the treatment of advanced sinus disease and minimally invasive skull base and orbital surgery at the University of Miami.

Dr. Jourdy is certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery and a fellow of the American Rhinologic Society. He is a member of ENT and Allergy Associates, L.L.P., an Ear, Nose,Throat and Allergy specialty practice. He currently has faculty appointments as  Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology and Neurosurgery at New York Medical College, a major medical school in Valhalla, NY, where he is a full time faculty member. He is also involved in the training of Otolaryngology residents in the Mount Sinai Program based out of New York City. 

Dr. Jourdy has significant experience with newer minimally invasive approaches to the sinuses, anterior skull base and brain, pituitary gland, and orbits (eyes), to treat disorders in these regions without external incisions. He has had extensive training in utilizing minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of sinonasal disease, such as sinusitis (acute, chronic, and recurrent), deviated nasal septums, epiphora (excessive tearing), inferior turbinate hypertrophy, mucoceles, nasal obstruction, nasal polyps, nose bleeds, orbital disease due to Grave’s disease, smell and taste disorders, and tumors (benign or malignant). In addition, Dr. Jourdy has had extensive training in minimally invasive base of skull surgery for the treatment of cerebrospinal fluid leaks, encephaloceles, meningoceles, pituitary tumors, and skull base tumors/lesions (such as chondrosarcomas, chordomas, craniopharyngiomas, meningiomas, and Rathke’s cleft cysts). Utilizing the minimally invasive, endoscopic endonasal approach, Dr. Jourdy can remove tumors that would otherwise require a large skull opening, brain retraction, and/or disfiguring facial scars; this offers numerous advantages in terms of the surgery, recovery, and quality of life for the patient after surgery. Dr. Jourdy has undergone extensive training in all of these areas during residency, as well as during his fellowship at the University of Miami under the mentorship of Dr. Roy R. Casiano, MD, an internationally recognized expert and one of the premiere endoscopic sinus and skull base surgeons in the world. Dr. Jourdy is currently one of the only physicians with this type of advanced training in Westchester, NY. Dr. Jourdy has served as an instructor at multiple endoscopic sinonasal and skull base anatomy and surgical techniques courses. He has also presented at the national level and published numerous articles and book chapters in the otolaryngology literature focused on sinonasal disease and endoscopic skull base surgery. In addition, Dr. Jourdy is an active member of the American Rhinological Society, the North American Skull Base Soceity, and the American Academy of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.
