We’re proud to share an exciting update about the evolution of our practice. As of July 1, 2025, San Francisco Otolaryngology Medical Group, along with our affiliated brands and San Francisco Audiology, has come together under a unified name: SH Medical.
While our name and visual identity may look a little different, what hasn’t changed is the heart of who we are. Our team of experienced providers, our longstanding locations—including our historic presence at 450 Sutter Street—and our unwavering dedication to high-quality, patient-centered care all remain intact.
What This Means for You and Your Patients
If you currently refer patients to our practice or partner with our team, here’s what you need to know:
- Same Trusted Providers: Patients will continue to see the same clinicians they’ve come to know and trust.
- Same Locations: All our clinics remain open and fully operational.
- No Disruption to Care: Our specialties—including otolaryngology, audiology, allergy and immunology, facial plastic surgery, sleep medicine, and more—remain active and accessible.
- Referrals & Records: All current referral processes (including fax numbers and points of contact) remain unchanged. There are no changes to Epic/MyChart record sharing or secure communications.
Honoring Our Legacy, Embracing the Future
This transition is more than a name change—it reflects our continued growth and the integration of our specialties under a single, collaborative vision. Since our founding in 1940 by Dr. Meyer Schindler, we’ve remained grounded in a legacy of clinical excellence and partnership. Moving forward as SH Medical allows us to continue building on that legacy with a modern, cohesive approach to care.
You may begin to notice our new name appearing on documentation, MyChart messages, and other communications moving forward.
