What Makes Breathe Free a Great Place to Work

At National Breathe Free Sinus & Allergy Centers, culture isn’t defined by a single initiative or statement—it’s reflected in how teams show up for each other and for patients every day.

Across the organization, there’s a shared understanding that great patient care starts with strong teams, clear values, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

A Culture Built on Purpose and Accountability

“Breathe Free has always been about more than just patient care—it’s about building an environment where great people can do their best work,” says Chairman Matt Ghanem. “When you invest in your team, align around purpose, and create systems that support both, you don’t just build a company—you build something people are proud to be part of.”

That sense of purpose is reinforced by a clear set of expectations. Across Breathe Free, teams operate within a framework grounded in ethics, integrity, and accountability—ensuring that every decision supports both patients and colleagues.

Values That Show Up in the Day-to-Day

Breathe Free’s culture is guided by a set of core values that shape how teams work together:

• Physician-directed care, where clinical decisions remain in the hands of providers
• Extreme ownership, where team members take responsibility for outcomes
• Commitment to patient experience and clinical excellence
• Integrity, ensuring transparency and ethical behavior
• Compassion and respect in every interaction

These values aren’t just stated—they’re built into daily workflows, team interactions, and patient care decisions.

Supporting Teams So They Can Focus on Patients

“What makes Breathe Free special is the combination of clinical excellence and operational support,” says CEO Taylor Borane. “Our teams are empowered, supported, and aligned around delivering exceptional care. That creates a culture where people grow, stay engaged, and genuinely enjoy the work they do every day.”

This support shows up in practical ways—through streamlined systems, reduced administrative burden, and clear operational structure—so teams can focus on delivering care without unnecessary friction.

Removing Friction, Enabling Better Work

“At Breathe Free, great operations aren’t about process for the sake of process—they’re about removing friction so our teams can focus on what matters most: the patient,” says Chief Operating Officer Todd Tomlinson. “When people feel supported, clear on expectations, and equipped to succeed, that’s when a workplace becomes truly exceptional.”

By creating operational clarity and consistency across locations, Breathe Free enables teams to work more efficiently while maintaining a high standard of care.

What It Feels Like to Work Here

In clinics across Breathe Free, culture is reflected in the small, everyday moments—teams supporting each other during busy days, mentoring new staff, and working together to ensure each patient interaction runs smoothly.

Behind the scenes, collaboration and shared responsibility are central to how teams operate. That consistency carries through to the patient experience—in the time providers take, the clarity they offer, and the care they deliver.

Supporting Physicians and Clinical Teams

“What makes Breathe Free unique is the alignment between patient care and team support,” says Dr. Manish Khanna, Chief Medical Officer. “As a physician, I’m able to focus on delivering the best outcomes for my patients while being part of a system that genuinely values collaboration, growth, and doing things the right way.”

This alignment allows physicians to maintain clinical autonomy while being supported by systems designed to help them succeed.
