Connecting Pediatricians to Partners
Pediatric Consultants Are Here For You
Consolidation has been happening throughout healthcare for decades. Outside investors, health systems, and others have been purchasing physician practices across most major specialties. However, outside of hospitals, there have been fewer private groups as buyers of pediatric practices.
​
We believe this is going to change. As the healthcare industry moves more to quality based arrangements, we believe there will be more attention paid to pediatric groups. We believe this is a good thing. However, navigating how to sell your practice and to who is often challenging, stressful, and unclear. We want to help you explore options available to you. Our goal is to empower pediatricians by finding them the right partners.

The demand for pediatric services are on the rise in the United States. According to IBIS World report, the pediatric industry had $14.3 billion in revenue in 2021 and is set to grow at 2.5% annually from 2021 to 2026.
​
Even though the industry demand and patient need is strong, it is often hard to find a partner for your practice. Fewer hospital systems and new associates are interested in purchasing pediatric practices. However, more groups and private buyers are emerging. Our goal is to help you identify a partner for your practice.
