Private equity-backed New York Bariatric Group (NYBG) is expanding with the acquisition of Long Island Bariatrics, PLLC, an independent bariatric practice with a strong presence in eastern Long Island, New York. NYBG is widely known as the preeminent bariatric practice in the Northeast and has offices throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Sentinel Capital Partners acquired the group back in 2019 through the purchase of SSJA Bariatric Management, LL, which provides administrative support services to multiple hospitals and 15 bariatric surgery offices in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut that collectively operate as NYBG.
With the investment from Sentinel Capital Partners, NYBG has had the opportunity to expand its network in the Northeast. In January of this year, the group acquired Naveen Ballem, MD LLC, an independent bariatric surgery practice with four surgeons and two locations in New Jersey, the first location for NYBG in the state.
The two deals bring NYBG’s network to nearly 20 locations in the New York City Metro area.
