Brian Farrell, MD
Retired
Background
He helped build the group from a 2-physician ENT partnership to a robust 10 physician group encompassing all sub-specialties of ENT. During his tenure, he worked hard at expanding care, shortening wait times, and bringing university level otolaryngology to the surrounding communities. His warm friendly manner put patients at ease and his speedy efficiency allowed him to bring great care to so many.
As leader of the group for many years, he tackled the challenges of private specialty healthcare head-on, always with the patient as the main focus. He invested in the practice and made sure the group had the equipment and technology to better diagnose, treat, and care for patients.
As an active member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Chicago Medical Society, AMA, and other medical organizations, and author of many peer-reviewed works, he shared his knowledge throughout his career with his partners & colleagues. He also fostered growth and education in medical students and Physician Assistant students who trained in rotations at Century ENT. The group remains a beacon of education and knowledge based on his example.
On December 31, 2023, Dr. Farrell retired from the group after more than 37 years of providing warm friendly and passionate care. He continues to remain active with the societies above, enjoys golf, time with family and even volunteers at local hospitals he once operated at.
The team he helped build stands ready to carry on the ideals he pioneered. From the staff, dedicated to friendly and effective service; to the hand-picked physicians specializing across all disciplines of ENT. Every physician recruited to Century ENT shared his ideals and patient first focus. The group he built remains the premier ENT destination in Illinois.
If Dr. Farrell was your go to ENT physician, you can rest assured that the partners in the group share his expertise, dedication and friendly manner and stand ready to take over your care where Dr. Farrell left off. If you never met him, you’ll experience the respect, knowledge and care that he instilled in the group.
