ENT Partners Expands Its Services in the Midwest Through ENT Specialists Acquisition

Enhancing Healthcare Services in the Midwest: ENT Partners' Latest Acquisition

In a significant move to strengthen its position in the Midwest healthcare market, ENT Partners, LLC, a premier Physician Practice Management Company, has announced the acquisition of ENT Specialists, Ltd, a well-respected otolaryngology practice located in Clarendon Hills, Illinois. This strategic partnership is set to enhance their service offerings and improve patient care in the region.

ENT Partners, which has established a solid reputation in Ear, Nose, Throat, Sleep Medicine, and Facial Plastics, aims to leverage this acquisition to provide exceptional healthcare services in the Midwest. The acquisition aligns with their mission to extend top-quality patient care through innovative and collaborative practice models.

Founded over 30 years ago, ENT Specialists, Ltd has been a vital part of the southwest suburbs of Chicago, offering a wide range of ENT services, including advanced treatments for sinus disorders and sleep apnea. The practice, led by Dr. Andrew Schubkegel, has built a strong reputation for its commitment to patient-centered care. With this acquisition, ENT Partners plans to broaden their service offerings further to include allergy treatments, audiology services, and in-office CT scans.

Starting this fall, patients will also benefit from the addition of Dr. Cynthia Duck, MD, JD, a skilled facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, to the ENT Specialists team. Dr. Duck's expertise will enable the practice to expand its scope of services, covering not only general ENT care but also cosmetic and complex facial reconstructive procedures.

Dr. Schubkegel expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Joining ENT Partners allows us to continue our mission of providing high-quality, personalized care while benefiting from the resources and support of an experienced management team and larger physician network." He emphasized the exciting opportunities this collaboration presents for both their patients and staff alike.

The CEO of ENT Partners, Jim Feinstein, welcomed Dr. Schubkegel and his team into the organization, highlighting how this growth reflects their ongoing commitment to deliver best-in-class management services. He noted, “We are excited to integrate Dr. Schubkegel and ENT Specialists, Ltd into our growing family of practices as we continue to expand our reach in the Chicago area and enhance access to superior ENT care throughout the Midwest. This partnership is particularly valuable as it creates unique revenue-generating and operational synergies with their affiliate, Suburban Otolaryngology in Berwyn, Illinois.”

This acquisition represents ENT Partners' third major expansion in 2025, following their recent acquisitions of Baltimore ENT and Currence Physician Solutions. These strategic moves position ENT Partners as a leading provider in the ENT field and reflect their dedication to supporting physicians and enhancing patient care.

ENT Partners aims to alleviate administrative burdens and operational distractions for practices of all sizes, allowing physicians to concentrate on what they do best: caring for their patients. With a presence across 24 locations in both the Midwest and East Coast, ENT Partners continues to focus on growth while providing comprehensive ENT patient care, thus solidifying their role as a key player in the healthcare industry.

In conclusion, the acquisition of ENT Specialists, Ltd is not merely a business move for ENT Partners, but a commitment to advancing healthcare services in the Midwest by bringing together experienced professionals and expanding access to high-quality ENT services. As they continue this path of growth, both patients and healthcare professionals alike can anticipate enhanced care delivery through these collaborations.
