Operating out of six locations in the Kentucky and Indiana region, Advanced ENT & Allergy brings 13 physicians and nearly 170 support staff to the SENTA platform. The partnership will allow the Practice to continue to grow in the Kentuckiana region while maintaining clinical autonomy and its dedication to high-quality patient care.

“As we evaluated our practice and explored various options, Baird was instrumental in helping us identify the best path forward and securing negotiated deal value and terms all the way up to close,” said Vasu Kakarlapudi, MD, Advanced ENT & Allergy. “Their M&A expertise and deep knowledge of the ENT and allergy market landscape was apparent in every step of the transaction.”

With the acquisition of Advanced ENT & Allergy, SENTA Partners has grown to over 930 employees, including 180 providers across 66 locations in seven states.
