History

Established in 1980.

Our practice focuses on providing quality care and on treating patients and their referring physicians honestly, fairly, and with respect.

We began as Dexter Louie, MD, Inc. in 1980 and became Pacific ENT Associates, Inc. in 2009. We have always been community-​based, in Chinatown, primarily serving Asian populations. However, we do see all patients, regardless of their health insurance status, and referrals from the San Francisco Free Clinic and other community clinics.

Pacific ENT Associates values and expects character, competence, and caring behavior in our physicians and our staff. We value the time and resources of our patients, and we value the trust of those who refer their patients to us.
