ENT & Allergy Associates (ENTA), together with its management services organization Hümi, announced a significant expansion into Texas by forming ENT & Allergy Associates of Texas, PLLC (ENTA–TX) through a partnership with Houston ENT & Allergy. The new entity will be effective January 1, 2026, marking ENTA’s first presence in Texas and extending its network beyond New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Houston ENT & Allergy has over 100 years of clinical experience and operates six locations in the greater Houston area with a team that includes 16 ENT specialists, three allergists, and 13 audiologists. By joining ENTA-TX, Houston ENT & Allergy will keep its local operations and private practice model but will have access to centralized infrastructure such as administrative support and technology platforms from ENTA and Hümi. This is intended to help physicians focus on patient care while supporting long-term operational growth.
With this partnership, ENTA’s network now includes more than 80 clinical locations and over 475 clinicians across four states. Patients in Texas are expected to benefit from broader access to ear, nose, throat, allergy, and audiology services backed by national resources.
Chuck Leider, CEO of Houston ENT & Allergy, stated: “Houston ENT & Allergy has built a strong legacy of specialized care for more than a century. 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.”
Daniel Blum, CEO of ENTA and Hümi said: “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. 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.”
Andy Courson, M.D., partner at Houston ENT & Allergy added: “I have known my colleagues at ENTA for many years and have always admired their dedication to patients and the field. 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.”
David Godin, M.D., President and Chairman of the Board of ENTA and Hümi commented: “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. 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.”
ENTA describes itself as the largest network for ear nose throat (ENT), allergy, and audiology services in the United States with over 475 clinicians practicing at more than 80 locations across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania — now including Texas — offering specialized medical services for both adults and children.
Houston ENT & Allergy was founded in 1907 as Houston's first clinic specializing in ear nose throat conditions. The group serves several counties around Greater Houston including Harris County.
Hümi specializes in healthcare management solutions covering areas such as practice operations management; revenue cycle; compliance; human resources; business applications; all aimed at helping healthcare providers improve efficiency.
