A Rare Opportunity in Pediatric Otolaryngology

Southern California Ear, Nose & Throat (SCENT), a highly respected and longstanding pediatric and adult otolaryngology practice, in partnership with MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital, is seeking a compassionate and skilled Board Eligible/Board Certified Pediatric Otolaryngologist to join its dedicated and highly collaborative team.

Founded in 1985, SCENT has built a reputation for delivering exceptional care to children and families across the South Bay and Orange County regions. Today, the practice includes three pediatric otolaryngologists, a physician assistant who has been with the group for more than 20 years, and a nurse practitioner who has been with the practice for four years—reflecting the stability, collegiality, and long-term commitment that define this team.

This is a rare opportunity, with partnership potential, to join a successful and growing practice that combines the independence of private practice with strong hospital collaboration, academic affiliations, and a long-standing, loyal patient base. The group is known not only for clinical excellence, but for its deep commitment to the community it serves.

Physicians provide comprehensive ENT care in a family-centered environment, with access to the latest surgical advances in otolaryngology. Care is delivered in part within the Cherese Mari Laulhere Children’s Village, a hospital-based, multidisciplinary clinic designed to bring pediatric specialties together in a highly coordinated model of care.

• Balanced Call Schedule: 1:5 call, supporting both professional satisfaction and quality of life
• Strong Financial Foundation: Hospital-supported recruitment with income guarantee in a high-demand service area
