Advanced ENT & Allergy, a long standing member of the Louisville and Southern Indiana healthcare community, is seeking to add experienced and knowledgeable Audiologists to their Team. As a growing mid-size practice, our company is large enough to have solid processes in place, but still maintain the small-office feel. A recent partnership with Southern Ear, Nose, Throat and Allergy (SENTA) physicians, a leading community of physician-led and patient focused practices, has brought additional growth opportunities to our team. Advanced ENT & Allergy is a busy practice providing a full spectrum of ENT care as well as a full complement of head and neck surgery. Our 12 Otolaryngologists utilize the latest technology, research and patient care techniques to create a top tier patient experience. Our professional and patient-focused Audiology team collaborates with our Physicians to plan and provide treatment for patients in an out-patient setting. Opportunities are available in both Louisville, KY and Southern IN.
