Tarrytown, New York, Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ENT & Allergy Associates (ENTA), in collaboration with its management services organization, Hümi (formerly known as Quality Medical Management Services USA, LLC), is making a major strategic expansion with the formation of ENT & Allergy Associates of Texas, PLLC (ENTA–TX) through a partnership with Houston ENT & Allergy, effective January 1, 2026. This marks ENTA’s first presence in Texas and extends its physician owned, patient-centered specialty care network beyond New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. In forming a new entity in Texas, the goal of this initiative is to attract additional groups and individual physicians to join together in the ownership and leadership of a private practice group that yields the benefits of scale and independence.
Houston ENT & Allergy brings more than 100 years of clinical experience, with a team of 16 ENT specialists, 3 allergists, and 13 audiologists serving patients across six locations in the greater Houston area. The practice has long been recognized for excellence in patient care, innovative treatments, and strong community engagement. By joining ENTA-TX, Houston ENT & Allergy will maintain local operations and a private practice model while gaining access to ENTA and Hümi’s centralized infrastructure, including administrative support, technology platforms, and operational guidance. This allows physicians to focus on patient care while positioning the practice for long-term operational and financial growth.
With this addition, ENTA’s network now encompasses over 80 clinical locations and more than 475 clinicians across four states. Patients in Texas will benefit from expanded access to comprehensive ear, nose, throat, allergy, and audiology services supported by the resources of a national organization.
“Houston ENT & Allergy has built a strong legacy of specialized care for more than a century,” said Chuck Leider, CEO of Houston ENT & Allergy. “This collaboration with ENTA and Hümi not only preserves our established standards and culture but also equips us with the infrastructure needed to adapt, scale, and innovate the practice in a highly-competitive healthcare landscape.”
“This move into Texas reflects ENTA’s deliberate growth strategy: to bring together strong independent practices under a model that enables them to thrive on their own terms,” said Daniel Blum, CEO of ENTA and Hümi. “Houston ENT & Allergy is an ideal partner because they lead with excellence and share our commitment to innovation in care. Our goal is to replicate our success, building a national confederation of independent practices that come together to grow, compete, and succeed while maintaining physician leadership and patient focus at the center. As we grow in size, we will tackle common challenges and opportunities with greater sophistication, lower cost and more favorable results.”
“I have known my colleagues at ENTA for many years and have always admired their dedication to patients and the field,” said Andy Courson, M.D., partner at Houston ENT & Allergy. “Joining together felt natural because we share the same philosophy about care. This partnership lets us build on our strong foundation while collaborating with a trusted team.”
“Private practice has always been more than running a clinic, it’s about creating an environment where physicians can make decisions in the best interest of their patients,” said David Godin, M.D., President, and Chairman of the Board of ENTA and Hümi. “With Houston ENT & Allergy joining our model, we are forming a strong alliance of physicians who are guided by the same principles and dedication to patient care. By working closely together, supporting one another, and combining our expertise, we can ensure that independent practices continue to thrive while patients receive thoughtful, expert care in every community we serve.”
