Did you get your Vivaer procedure in the New York area? I have not been able to find a ENT that specializes in Vivaer.

I had it done in Boca Raton, FL at Dr. Nathan Nachlas' practice. Vivaer should who offers is as their equipment is used but its still new-ish so maybe a lot of ENTs are still learning about it. Dr. Nachlas is a surgeon as well and, some years earlier, talked me out of surgery as it would have been 'corrective' surgery with cartilage transplantation, etc. I was ready to consider as I got tired of trying to just breathe comfortably (through convoluted and semi-obstructed nasal passages) and made an appointment there only to find that the new radio-frequency technology could un-obstruct a lot of old scar tissue without any surgery. For me, it was an instant solution. I haven't slept with a Breathe Right during allergy season or anytime since. Years of using nasal sprays, steroid and non-steroid, did absolutely nothing for me as I had a structural problem.

By the way, Nachlas' practice doesn't 'specialize' in Vivaer. It's one of the tools they use where it makes sense. So maybe you'll find an ENT who Aldo added it to the practice.
