Ear, Nose & Throat Associates

What Ear, Nose & Throat Associates does

Ear, Nose & Throat Associates (operating as "ENT Associates at GBMC and Hunt Valley") is a full-service otolaryngology-head and neck surgery practice founded in 1967 by Dr. George Alderman and Dr. Samuel Lumpkin in Baltimore, Maryland. The practice provides comprehensive ENT care across adult and pediatric populations, covering ear and hearing disorders, balance and vestibular conditions, sinus and nasal disorders, throat/voice/swallowing problems, snoring and sleep apnea, allergies and asthma, thyroid/parathyroid disorders, head and neck cancers, and pediatric ENT conditions. It also operates a complete audiology program with diagnostic testing (otoscopy, tympanometry, audiometry, OAE, ABR, VNG/ENG), hearing aid dispensing (including bone-anchored hearing aids and assistive listening devices), and a Cochlear Implant Program directed by Dr. Brian Kaplan at GBMC.

The clinical team consists of 7 board-certified ENT physicians, 2 physician assistants, and 6 audiologists with Au.D. degrees, many trained at Johns Hopkins, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Columbia, Stanford, and Harvard-affiliated programs. The practice operates two office locations: its headquarters at Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC) in Towson/Baltimore and a second office in Hunt Valley, with affiliated access to the Maryland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery (co-located at Hunt Valley) and FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers in Lutherville. Technology infrastructure is standard for a mid-sized U.S. specialty practice: eClinicalWorks EMR, the healow patient engagement and online scheduling platform, Doxy.me for telemedicine, and Healow Pay for online bill payment. Two senior physicians hold flagship GBMC leadership roles (Chairman of Otolaryngology and Director of Cochlear Implant Program; Co-Director of the Minimally Invasive Pituitary and Skull Base Center), embedding the practice in hospital referral and surgical workflows.

Since 2017 the practice has operated as a division of The Centers for Advanced ENT Care, the largest ENT provider in the mid-Atlantic region, and in 2023 became an operating unit of ENT Specialty Partners, a private equity-backed ENT platform. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services billed to insurance (Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Johns Hopkins plans, Tricare) and through hearing aid hardware sales and fittings. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals, insurance network participation, and a regional reputation built over more than 50 years, with no direct-to-consumer marketing, no disclosed funding history, and no disclosed revenue.
