Drew Franklin, MBA, FACMPE – Medical Practice Executive, ENT Administrator at ENT Specialty Partners
I’m a strategic advisor for Albany ENT and Allergy Services. I’ve been with the practice for four years. I’ve been in ENT for 18 years, having previously worked with ENT and Allergy Associates, which is the largest Ear, Nose and Throat practice in the country. I have my MBA from NYU Stern. I’m a fellow of the American College of Medical Practice Executives, and I’m very happy to be here.

Gavin Setzen – CEO & President at Albany ENT & Allergy Services
My journey’s a little circuitous to Albany, having grown up in South Africa. I went to medical school in South Africa, did a short stint at a family practice, 60 miles north of North Dakota, waiting for my green card. I completed a partial general surgery residency in New York City. Before coming up to Albany, I completed my ENT Head and Neck surgery residency here and loved the Adirondacks, the upstate New York area. I had a great opportunity to take over the practice of a solo practitioner and have lived in upstate New York since that time. We developed a great platform in comprehensive otolaryngology here, growing the practice to now our 10th physician and onboarding our 20th physician assistant. We have a very diverse, broadbased, comprehensive type of practice and we can certainly talk more about the offerings and ancillaries and other care services that we provide. It’s been a very rewarding, important journey, and we’re glad to be providing care to upstate New York and contiguous communities in southern Vermont, Western Massachusetts, and the like.
