Physician Transaction Advisors
As the only advisory firm with a senior team that is composed of career outpatient healthcare professionals, we can leverage the experience that comes from leading industry best service, technology, and management firms, along with the knowledge and expertise gained from successfully managing more than 300 complex and time-consuming strategic partnership transactions to ensure our clients realize outsized outcomes.
We are not an investment banking or brokerage company with a team made up of individuals with finance degrees who have found a profitable niche in healthcare. We are truly advisors who are here to guide our clients through a process that will ultimately determine the future success of their organization.
We formed ASCs Inc. (now Physician Transaction Advisors) twenty-five years ago at the request of physician owners who were not achieving the outcomes they had expected when entering into these once-in-a-lifetime partnerships. We decided early on that we would act as advisors and focus on ensuring our clients had the opportunity to evaluate all their strategic options fully, make informed decisions, negotiate the absolute best pricing and terms on their behalf, and help navigate the complex quality of earnings (QoE) and due diligence process once an LOI (letter of intent) has been signed.
This is why the physician-owners of more than 300 practices and ASCs have achieved significantly better results by working with Physician Transaction Advisors than they ever could have by managing this once-in-a-lifetime process themselves.
We are Advisors, not Investment Bankers or Business Brokers
We early on made the decision that our approach was going to be as an advisor to our clients. While our team has extensive healthcare experience and has worked in both the investment banking and brokerage spaces, we believe it is imperative that our clients have true transparency into the entire transaction process, are able to evaluate every prospective partnership independently and are involved every step of the way.
