The Opportunity: Build Your Vision with Hospital Backing

We are seeking an entrepreneurial Board Certified/Board Eligible Otolaryngologist to establish, lead, and grow a comprehensive ENT service line. This is a rare chance to step into a market with overwhelming community demand, zero local competition, and the financial stability of a hospital-employed model. If you are looking for the autonomy to design a practice tailored to your clinical interests-without the financial risks of private practice-this is the opportunity for you.

Position Highlights

• Clinical Breakdown: Spend approximately 3 days in the OR and 2 days in the clinic per week, with an expected clinic volume of about 40 patients per day.
• Schedule & Call: Enjoy flexible scheduling options and a highly manageable call requirement of only 10 days per month.
• Facility & Technology: Practice in a beautiful, modern hospital (built in 2013) equipped with a Da Vinci Xi robotic platform, Cerner EMR in the main hospital and Athena EMR in the clinic.

Your Practice, Your Scope

Enjoy a thriving, bread-and-butter ENT practice with immediate dedicated OR block time and an attached medical office building for seamless clinic access. You have complete flexibility to shape your case mix:

• Core Procedures: Comprehensive ENT care, thyroid surgery, sinus surgery, tracheostomies, and endoscopic procedures.
• Subspecialty Growth: Full administrative support to build out facial plastic surgery, allergy services, advanced sinus procedures, or a sleep medicine program (sleep lab space is already available).
• Academic Opportunities: Optional participation in teaching our Internal Medicine residents.
• Streamlined Logistics: All surgeries are performed exclusively at the hospital-no travel.
