April 1, 2024 – The largest private practice otolaryngology group in the region, Sound Health Services (“Sound”), is proud to celebrate two decades of ear, nose, and throat (“ENT”) care in the St. Louis region. In 2004, several independent ENT physician practices formed Sound to share services, resources and operate more efficiently to better serve their patients. Over the past twenty years, the practice has flourished and is well-positioned for the future.
Sound otolaryngologist and board president, James Hartman M.D., FACS, notes “The ENTs at Sound are proud of what our group has accomplished over the past twenty years while the healthcare field continues to evolve. As independent practitioners, we enjoy working in an entrepreneurial and friendly environment for helping our patients, physician colleagues, and staff.”
In 2017, Sound was the first ENT group in St. Louis to open a specialty walk-in clinic to care for patients with ENT-related issues. Known as ENT Now®, the walk-in clinic provides patients with a quick, convenient option for evaluation and treatment of ear, nose and throat symptoms and conditions when they need it. Appointments are also available at ENT Now® to reduce potential wait time.
According to CEO, Dave Hinkle, “Sound is a great place for patients to receive ENT care. We foster a collaborative team environment where physicians practice medicine in a patient-centered manner.”
