Bastian Voice Institute

The mission of Bastian Voice Institute is to provide the highest quality medical, surgical, and behavioral care and consideration for persons with voice, swallowing, and airway disorders. Our primary concern is patient care, supported by ongoing education and research. Robert W. Bastian, M.D., established Bastian Voice Institute in 2003 following a successful twenty-year career in academic medicine first at Washington University in St. Louis and then at Loyola University in Chicago, finishing with the rank of Professor. Dr. Bastian founded BVI inspired by his vision of an independent and unique specialty practice dedicated to voice, swallowing, and airway disorders in the adult population. Bastian Voice Institute reflects Dr. Bastian's triple passions of patient care, teaching, and research. He works alongside carefully chosen co-workers Brent Richardson, M.D., and Lori L. Sonnenberg, M.M. ( voice ), M.A., CCC-SLP, as well as with a caring and committed staff, all of whom have helped bring BVI into being in keeping with his vision.
