You're looking at 6 physician-owned otolaryngology practices in Maine. I sourced all of them from the NPPES NPI Registry and filtered out everything that doesn't meet the standard of independent physician ownership.

The coverage spans 6 cities statewide.
If you're evaluating a move to private practice in Maine, this is a starting point you won't find on a job board. Most boards mix employed positions with ownership opportunities, and they almost never tell you who actually owns the practice. Recruiters aren't much better. This page filters for physician ownership specifically, so you can focus on practices where clinical autonomy isn't just a talking point in an interview. It's built into the ownership structure.
Maine's physician-owned otolaryngology directory lists 6 practice locations across 5 cities. The largest group is Northern Light Ear, Nose, and Throat Care (2 locations).
None of the otolaryngology practices listed in Maine carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices are located in Bangor, Biddeford, Falmouth, Lewiston, and South Portland.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 6 physician-owned otolaryngology private practices in Maine, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.
A physician-owned practice is one where licensed physicians hold controlling ownership of the business entity. This is distinct from hospital employment, corporate medical groups, or private equity-backed practices where non-physician entities control the business.
The Corporate-Acquired flag means the practice was historically physician-owned but has since been acquired by a corporate entity such as Optum. The MSO-Affiliated flag means the practice uses a Management Services Organization for billing and administration while physicians retain practice-level ownership.
Maine's physician-owned otolaryngology practices include InterMed - Ear Nose and Throat (Portland), PearceMD (Portland), and Julius Damion MD FACS (Portland).
NPPES is the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System, a federal database maintained by CMS. Every practice in this directory has an active NPI record in NPPES, confirming it is a registered U.S. medical practice.
Yes. ENT practices that employ licensed audiologists can dispense hearing aids directly to patients. In Maine, hearing aid dispensing requires either an audiologist holding an appropriate state license, or a hearing instrument specialist license. Most commercial insurers do not cover hearing aids, so revenue is collected directly from patients at time of fitting. Revenue distribution varies by practice, some allocate audiology revenue to the responsible audiologist's physician partner; others pool it as general practice overhead. This is worth clarifying before joining.
