Minnesota-based ENT Partners LLC announced Tuesday it has acquired Southern Indiana ENT & Indianapolis Sinus Center, headquartered in Columbus. Financial terms of the deal are not being disclosed.
Southern Indiana ENT has three locations in Columbus, Seymour and Franklin. The company also operates the Indianapolis Sinus Center in Greenwood.
“This partnership will enable us to leverage the experienced management team and resources of ENT Partners to help Southern Indiana ENT solidify its independence and autonomy,” Dr. Anthony Sanders, partner at Southern Indiana ENT said in a news release. “ENT Partners is the perfect partner to accelerate our expansion plans while maintaining our competitive advantages. We look forward to the opportunities to improve operational efficiencies, and recruit and retain top talent.”
ENT Partners CEO Jim Feinstein called the partnership a great fit for the company “strategically, philosophically, and geographically.”
Southern Indiana ENT specializes in the treatments for ear, nose, throat, allergy, and sleep disorders. The company employs two board-certified otolaryngologists, four advanced practice registered nurse practitioners, a physician assistant, an audiologist, and a board-certified hearing instrument specialist.
Feinstein told Inside INdiana Business that no jobs will be negatively affected by the acquisition. In fact, the company expects to see 10% employee growth annually. ENT Partners employs a total of 180 people.
The acquisition is ENT Partners’ first foray into Indiana. Feinstein said they are in active discussions with other Hoosier private practices and “courting other partnership opportunities.”
