To schedule an appointment with an pediatric otolaryngologist (ENT), call IU Health at 317-944-6467 or search the IU Health Find a Doctor portal.

The Aerodigestive Program provides interdisciplinary health care for children with complex structural airway and functional gastroenterology disorders. Faculty physicians from otolaryngology work with pulmonary and gastrointestinal department members on individual patient cases.

The DHHC is comprised of experts in otolaryngology, audiology, genetics, psychology, pediatrics and educational consulting to address pediatric hearing loss and education for patients’ families. The multidisciplinary effort is designed to support children through a full spectrum of medical, social and educational care.

The Pediatric Head and Neck Tumor Program offers specialized surgical care in children with benign and malignant masses of the head and neck. Because these tumors can affect critical structures of voice, swallowing, breathing, and voice, surgery may require highly specific, complex approaches and postoperative care. It is important for patients to be cared for by an expert team utilizing state-of-the-art technology for diagnostics and treatment.
