ENT Specialists of North Florida appears to be moving forward with a fifth location in St. Johns County in a building it owns.
JEA issued a service availability letter April 9 for an office at the Fountains at St. Johns off County Road 210. A service availability request typically does not confirm a project but indicates the property is being considered for development.
ENT Specialists bought the building in 2020 through FES ENT 210 for $800,000.
According to a St. Johns County build-out permit issued Aug. 5, ENT Specialists would occupy the second floor of the 10,000-square-foot building at 75 Jaidev Road. The project cost is listed at $87,457. Richard Gorham, is the contractor.
ENT Specialists was established in Jacksonville in 2007. It has locations in Mandarin at 11705 San Jose Blvd., Unit 103; in Riverside at 3 Shircliff Way, Suite 322; on the Southside at 4203 Belfort Road, Suite 340; and in Jacksonville Beach at 1370 13th Ave. S., Suite 116, in Building A.
The practice specializes in ears and hearing, throat and voice, nose and sinus, head and neck, pediatrics and craniofacial anomalies.
According to entspecialistsnorthflorida.com, “each of our physicians has passed the rigorous standards for board certification by the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery as well as fellowship training in various subspecialties such as Pediatric ENT, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Craniofacial Surgery and Neuro-Otology.”
The site also says urgent care appointments are generally available within 24 hours, and its answering service offers established and post-surgical patients emergency access to physicians 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
ENT Specialists would be the latest medical provider at the Fountains, a mixed-use development anchored by Ascension St. Vincent’s St. Johns County. Other tenants include Bartram Dental Assisting School and Medical Aesthetics of Florida.
The TyMe Institute, a cancer research center, is under development at the site. Longer-term plans include assisted living and memory care facilities.
