Located at 1131 N 35th Ave, Suite 300, in the heart of the Memorial Regional Hospital campus, the office of Dr. Samuel Ostrower, MD is much more than a standard doctor's clinic. As the Chief of Pediatric Otolaryngology at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Dr. Ostrower has transformed this Hollywood, Florida address into a premier destination for pediatric ear, nose, and throat (ENT) care, specializing in giving children the gift of sound and breath.
The Architect of Sound
Dr. Ostrower is widely recognized for his work in Pediatric Cochlear Implantation. He moved to South Florida with a specific mission: to develop a comprehensive pediatric ENT program. Under his leadership, the center has become a beacon of hope for families dealing with profound hearing loss, taking children from a world of silence to one of vibrant interaction.
Why Dr. Ostrower is a South Florida Medical Pillar
The Harvard-Yale Pedigree: His background reads like a "Who’s Who" of American medicine. After graduating cum laude from Trinity University and earning his MD from Texas Tech, he completed his residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine (where he was Chief Resident) and a prestigious fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital-Harvard Medical School.
Airway Innovation: Beyond ears and hearing, he is a master of minimally invasive pediatric airway surgery. He is known for complex procedures like tracheal surgery and subglottic stenosis repair, helping children breathe clearly and safely.
Radical Compassion: His care philosophy is rooted in a "family-centered" approach. He is frequently cited by patients for an unhurried bedside manner, often described as a physician who truly listens to parents' concerns—a rarity in the high-pressure world of specialty surgery.
The "Top Doctor" Legacy: He has been a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for over a decade and was featured in the Boca Raton Observer for his contributions to pediatric health.
Spanish-Speaking Specialist: In the diverse landscape of Hollywood and Miami, Dr. Ostrower provides care in both English and Spanish, ensuring that a wide range of South Florida families can communicate their needs without a language barrier.
The Patient Experience
"It is a child-friendly sanctuary where cutting-edge surgical precision meets the warmth of a neighborhood pediatrician—a place where 'high-tech' and 'high-touch' coexist."
The atmosphere at Suite 300 is designed to reduce the anxiety often associated with medical visits. As part of the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital network, the office reflects a philosophy that "children are not small adults," providing a specialized environment that caters to the emotional and physical needs of young patients from birth to age 18.
Pro-Tips for Parents
The "Memorial" Connection: Because his office is located within the Memorial Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology, you are steps away from some of the best pediatric imaging and lab services in the country.
Telehealth Convenience: Dr. Ostrower offers telehealth appointments, which are perfect for initial consultations or follow-up discussions that don't require a physical exam, saving parents a trip through Hollywood traffic.
Verify Insurance: While he is affiliated with Joe DiMaggio and Memorial, always call the office at (954) 265-1616 to confirm your specific insurance plan (including Medicaid or private carriers) before your visit.
The Multi-Location Strategy: If the Hollywood schedule is full, Dr. Ostrower also sees patients in Coral Springs and Wellington, providing more flexibility for families living further north.
