Dr. Drake and Dr. Presti Voted Top Doctors in 2024

Dr. William Drake III and Dr. Paul Presti manage all medical and surgical aspects of the head and neck at their state-of-the-art facility in Mountainside, which features a designated center for facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as hearing aid services.

Board certified in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery and known for their expertise in treating complex nasal and sinus disorders, Drs. Drake and Presti use the latest endoscopic techniques, including image-guided surgery. They are also highly skilled in minimally invasive treatment of both benign and malignant tumors in the thyroid, parathyroid and parotid glands. Dr. Presti, who has additional board certification in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, specializes in cosmetic, functional and reconstructive surgery of the entire face.

The doctors focus on delivering expert care, allocating a generous amount of time to each appointment. “Whether we’re dealing with a sinus condition or cancer, we give all patients the time they deserve, the highest-quality treatment possible and the same attention to detail that we would give our own families,” says Dr. Presti. “After 25 years of practice, our mission remains constant: providing empathetic and compassionate care,” says Dr. Drake. “We still love what we do and get tremendous satisfaction when our patients return to tell us how well they’re doing.”
