History
The San Francisco Otolaryngology Group can trace its roots to Meyer Schindler, MD. The practice began in 1940 when Meyer Schindler was asked to join Lewis F. Morrison, MD the Chief of Otolaryngology at UCSF, in practice. He started seeing patients in the 490 Post St. office in July 1940. In the late summer of 1945, Dr. Schindler began his practice a new in the office of his long-time friend and fellow otolaryngologist, Allen Sherman, MD at 450 Sutter St. Meyer Schindler chose to remain downtown in the 450 Sutter St office as a sole practitioner until the summer of 1973, when he was joined in practice by his oldest son, David Schindler, MD, who was trained at UCSF and had just completed his military service as an Army Otolaryngologist in Fort Lewis, Washington. The Meyer and David Schindler office expanded once again when his fourth son, Brian Schindler, MD, completed his residency training at UCSF and joined the practice in 1979.
