NW Indiana ENT & Sinus Center

01/05/2022

Hi, everyone! As some of you may know, we recently transitioned to a new office and welcomed Dr. Gulati to our practice, now known as Indiana Ear and Sinus Institute.

During that transition, we have encountered some major phone issues/interruptions and were pretty difficult to reach. We are currently feeling the impact of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases as we are down several staff members. In an effort to keep our patients and staff as safe as possible, we’re working diligently as a short handed staff.

We know some of you are trying to reach us unsuccessfully. We are very sorry for the stress and inconvenience this is causing. Please bear with us as we try to catch up and meet all of our patients needs. Don’t give up on us, we’re still the same caring practice we’ve always been.

If you’re struggling to reach us by phone, please feel free to email us at info@IndianaSinus.com

We really look forward to hearing from you.
