We’ve written extensively about private equity groups building platforms of specialty practices, particularly dermatology, anesthesia and ophthalmology. But publicly traded entities are still in the hunt. In the first three weeks of March 2018, 13 deals for physician practices were announced, although none disclosed financial... Read More »
