The lawsuit was filed six years agos by several patients claiming Dr. Gandhi implanted pacemakers or defibrillators they didn’t need and routinely scheduled unnecessary procedures.
Details of the settlement are confidential, and Dr. Gandhi and Cardiology Associates of Northwest Indiana admitted no fault.
Several cases also named Community Hospital of Munster as a defendant, claiming the hospital put “profits ahead of patient safety” by allowing the procedures. The hospital denies the allegations.
