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.

  • 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 .

Built-In Success: A Massive Referral Engine

You will not have to wait to build a patient panel. Step into an immediate, high-volume practice fueled by an incredibly robust and loyal referral network:

  • 15 Hospital-employed primary care providers.

  • 15+ Independent primary care providers and APPs in a large local group.

  • Strong partnerships with a local Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and surrounding community organizations.

Modern Facilities & Comprehensive Support

Practice in a beautiful, modern hospital featuring 10 spacious operating suites. You will be supported by:

  • 24/7 Anesthesia physician coverage.

  • Hospital-employed Emergency Medicine and Hospitalist teams to manage admissions.

  • An active, multidisciplinary tumor board.

  • Contracted laser technology access when required.

Lucrative Compensation & Benefits

We provide a highly competitive financial package designed to reward your expertise, productivity, and leadership.

  • High Earning Potential: Competitive base salary paired with lucrative productivity incentives.

  • Generous Perks: Substantial sign-on bonus and comprehensive relocation assistance.

  • Total Rewards: Full comprehensive benefits package and professional liability insurance (including tail coverage).

  • Immigration Support: Visa sponsorship available (J-1 and H-1B candidates are highly encouraged to apply).

The Ideal Candidate

  • Board Certified or Board Eligible in Otolaryngology (Fellowship training is preferred but not required).

  • Comfortable managing a busy bread-and-butter ENT caseload.

  • Entrepreneurial, collegial, and excited about the prospect of building a service line from the ground up.
