ENT and Allergy Associates, LLP Increases the Breadth of its Ownership: Elects Otolaryngologists Adrianna Hekiert, MD and Francisca Yao, MD as Partners
Tarrytown—April 7th, 2015: In order to ensure that the seventy thousand deserving patients who visit ENT and Allergy Associates (ENTA) each month are well served in all its 40 clinical locations across New York and New Jersey, the Practice calls on the expertise of over 160 board-certified specialists and sub-specialists.
And for those physicians who have consistently demonstrated an ability to deliver superior outcomes and patient satisfaction levels over time, ENTA calls them something even more special: Partner.
With this squarely in mind, ENTA today proudly announced the election of its two latest partners/practice owners: Adrianna Hekiert, MD (Board-certified ENT practicing in Bridgewater, NJ) and Francisca Yao, MD (Board-certified ENT practicing in Bay Ridge West and Brooklyn Heights, NY).
“We are absolutely delighted to add Adrianna and Francisca’s names to our growing partnership roster,” noted ENTA Board member Dr. Steven Gold. “Each has consistently demonstrated her commitment to the patient communities of her respective office, as well to the Practice as a whole. I heartily congratulate them on this terrific achievement, and warmly welcome them to the ranks of ownership.”
Added fellow Partner and Board member Dr. George Pazos, “Making the leap from Associate to Partner requires that a physician demonstrate superb clinical skills, and that she is embraced by the communities in which she serves. These two doctors have accomplished both admirably.”
Robert Green, MD, President of ENTA, commented, “Partnership at ENTA means having a full place at the table when it comes to evaluating the major decisions that lie in front of us, essentially shaping the future of our Practice. We look forward to the contributions that Drs. Hekiert and Yao will make.”
ENTA offers all its incoming physicians opportunities including an unparalleled body of generous collegial expertise from which to learn and benefit; a choice of communities in which to practice; leading edge technology, including a specially tailored EHR system with which to help deliver superior healthcare; and complete transparency. It also sets out a clear path toward the prestige of partnership, earned through an individual physician’s hard work and exemplary medical record of patient satisfaction and success.

She graduated from the College of Saint Rose in Albany with highest honors and received her medical degree from the Albany Medical College.
