Vernose & McGrath ENT - Philadelphia

What Vernose & McGrath ENT - Philadelphia does

Vernose & McGrath ENT is a private, physician-owned otolaryngology practice operating under the legal entity "Vernose and McGrath Associates." Founded and co-led by Dr. Gerard Vernose, MD and Dr. John McGrath, DO, FACOO, the practice delivers comprehensive ear, nose, throat, allergy, hearing health, sleep, and facial plastics services to patients of all ages across three locations: one in Philadelphia, PA (1841 South Broad Street) and two in South Jersey (Marlton and Turnersville). The clinical team consists of two board-certified otolaryngologists and two Doctors of Audiology (Elizabeth Aspell, AuD, CCC-A and Zac Harris, AuD), supporting an integrated delivery model that combines physician-led medical/surgical ENT care with in-house audiology services. The practice markets itself on bringing "university-level ENT care to community settings" with same-day appointment availability and an emphasis on the "ear-to-brain connection" in hearing healthcare.

The service portfolio spans five integrated lines: Hearing Health (hearing loss testing, hearing aids, tinnitus management, balance/vertigo evaluation, cochlear implant evaluation), Allergy & Sinus (comprehensive allergy testing, immunotherapy, balloon sinuplasty, Propel sinus implants, sinus surgery), general ENT care (ear infections, deviated septum, chronic cough, thyroid conditions, head/neck masses), Sleep & Snoring (sleep apnea, snoring, TMJ), and Facial Plastics (Botox, fillers, rhinoplasty, skin cancer treatment). The practice runs standard medical diagnostic equipment with no proprietary technology systems identified; patient engagement is supported by the third-party healow.com platform for online scheduling, patient portal access, and online bill payment via healowPay.

Commercially, the practice operates as a standard professional services medical group, billing in-network to a broad roster of payers including Aetna, AmeriHealth, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Independence Blue Cross, United Healthcare, Horizon BCBS NJ, Tricare, and Devoted Health, with copays collected at time of service and self-pay accepted via card, check, or cash. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals, insurance network participation, direct patient self-referrals, local SEO, and a content-marketing blog covering ENT topics. Revenue figures, ownership structure details beyond physician co-founders, and any external investment involvement are not publicly disclosed.
