As the newest ENT surgeon at Sheridan Memorial Hospital, you'll step into a well-established practice with immediate impact and long-term growth potential. Unlike many hospital employment scenarios where physicians feel like interchangeable parts, your arrival is part of a carefully planned transition with the hospital's respected ENT physician who helped to build this thriving practice. This thoughtfully designed succession plan allows you to benefit from mentorship while gradually assuming a leadership role in the community's ENT care.
Your practice will serve as the cornerstone of otolaryngology services for Sheridan and the surrounding communities, providing essential specialized care that keeps patients close to home rather than traveling to distant metropolitan areas. The position's planned start in late 2025 coincides with Dr. Varner's transition, creating an ideal situation where you can establish yourself with the support of an experienced colleague before potentially assuming full leadership of the practice.
While maintaining the foundation of general ENT, you'll have the opportunity to shape the practice according to your specific interests and expertise. The hospital administration recognizes the value of physician-led service development and is committed to supporting your vision for expanding ENT services in the community. This position offers the rare combination of joining an established practice while having the freedom to evolve it according to your clinical interests.
