We’re pleased to share an important update: As of July 1, 2025, San Francisco Otolaryngology Medical Group, San Francisco Audiology, and our partner practices are now unified under a new name—SH Medical.
This change reflects more than a name. It marks a continued commitment to coordinated, specialty-driven care that supports both patients and the providers who refer them to us. Our focus on collaboration, access, and clinical excellence remains stronger than ever.
What This Means for Referring Providers
We want this transition to be as smooth as possible for your practice. Here’s what you can count on:
- Consistent Referral Process
There are no changes to how you refer patients. Existing fax numbers, referral lines, and points of contact remain active. - Same Expert Team
Our providers, including those in ENT, audiology, allergy & immunology, sleep medicine, and facial plastic surgery, continue to care for patients at all current locations. - Record Sharing and Communication
Epic/MyChart access, secure messaging, and record-sharing protocols remain unchanged. - Familiar Faces, Trusted Care
Your patients will continue receiving care from the same clinicians they already know and trust.
Built on Decades of Excellence
Our legacy dates back to 1940, when Dr. Meyer Schindler established what has become one of the Bay Area’s most respected ENT practices. SH Medical allows us to build on that foundation with a unified identity that supports deeper integration and improved care coordination.
You’ll soon see our new name reflected in patient documents, MyChart communications, and clinical reports—but rest assured, the care behind the name remains the same.
