This practice is at the ENT clinic space, next to the hospital, Adventist Health Sierra Vista. Sierra Vista is the largest hospital in San Luis Obispo County. It is a 162 bed, level III trauma facility that has served the community since 1959. Specializing in neurosurgery, orthopedics, obstetrics, perinatology, neonatology, pediatrics, cancer care and various medical, surgical, and outpatient services, it houses the largest Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the region, the only dedicated pediatric unit in the county, and serves as the designated trauma center. Additionally, Sierra Vista is recognized as a Baby-Friendly USA facility.
Surgical cases are done in the OR at the hospital and the clinic is next door, just a short walk away. Due to the need in the area, the goal is to expand to have a full practice of 4 ENT physicians and at least 2 APPs. The vision is to have audiology onsite and an allergy practice that is open simultaneously with clinic, to take walk ins and referrals from the ENTs. There are plans to build an ambulatory surgery center as well. Since this practice is young and growing, general ENT is needed, but physicians with subspecialty training or interests are welcome as well. There is a huge need in the community for ENT. It is anticipated that you will be fully ramped up in less than a year.
