Orlando Ear Nose & Throat Associates

What Orlando Ear Nose & Throat Associates does

Orlando Ear, Nose, and Throat Associates is a multi-location otolaryngology physician group practice headquartered in Orlando, Florida, operating three clinics across the Orlando metropolitan area (Orlando/Lake Underhill, Oviedo, and Waterford Lakes). Founded in 1999 and co-founded by Dr. Dale Harrington, the practice delivers comprehensive ENT care across eight specialty areas: allergy testing and immunotherapy (subcutaneous shots, sublingual drops, biologic therapy), sinus treatment (including balloon sinuplasty, septoplasty, and turbinate reduction), sleep medicine (CPAP, Inspire device implantation, surgery), audiology and hearing aid dispensing, ear care, head and neck surgery, voice and swallowing disorders, and facial reconstruction surgery. Services are supported by board-certified ENT specialists and audiologists using advanced diagnostic equipment including videonystagmography balance testing, audiometric testing suites, and video stroboscope vocal cord examination.

The practice operates a fee-for-service revenue model with broad insurance participation (Medicare, Medicaid, major commercial carriers) plus self-pay options, and markets a 40% cost advantage versus hospital-based ENT care. Recurring revenue streams include multi-year allergy immunotherapy courses, lifetime-service hearing aid dispensing, and long-term patient care relationships. An in-house clinical research program at the Waterford Lakes location conducts Phase III/IV trials sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Sanofi, Regeneron, and OptiNose, with operational support from major CROs including IQVIA, Covance, PPD, and Parexel.

Orlando ENT Associates is affiliated with Elevate ENT Partners, a national practice management support organization spanning over 75 otolaryngology centers and 120 physicians. The practice operates eClinicalWorks for EHR and practice management, FollowMyHealth for the patient portal, and Phreesia for online payments. Marketing channels combine a content-rich website with blog and audio blog, online appointment scheduling, physician referrals, and insurance network participation.

• Sniffle (ENT Telehealth): Direct-to-consumer telehealth platform specializing in sinus, allergy, and ENT consultations. Represents the digital-first competitive model that could cannibalize initial consultation volume from brick-and-mortar ENT practices.

Direct peers
