Medical Assistant

Advanced ENT and Allergy, a long standing member of the Louisville and Southern Indiana healthcare community, is seeking to add experienced and knowledgeable Medical Assistants 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.

Advanced ENT and Allergy is a busy practice providing a full spectrum of ENT care as well as a full complement of head and neck surgery. Our 13 Otolaryngologists and Board Certified Allergist utilize the latest technology, research and patient care techniques to create a top tier patient experience.

Position is based in Louisville, KY but ability and willingness to travel to other locations will be required.
