Physician Growth Partners Advises Northeast Ohio Eye Surgeons in Formation of New Eye Care Platform Sponsored by Alpine Investors

AKRON, OH / ACCESSWIRE / September 4, 2019 / Northeast Ohio Eye Surgeons, Inc. (“NEOES”), including its subsidiary business, Ohio Eye Care Consultants, have completed their sale in forming a new ophthalmology platform with Alpine Investors. The consolidated eyecare platform will be called Midwest Vision Partners (“MVP”) and will be led by Joseph Giles as CEO. Northeast Ohio Eye Surgeons along with Ohio Eye Care Consultants is a leading sub-specialty ophthalmology practice in northeast Ohio that provides medical and surgical eye services with seven offices throughout northeast Ohio.

This investment and Alpine’s distinct PeopleFirst™ approach are expected to help NEOES and OECC scale their vertically integrated models, while continuing to grow the platform and leading with clinical excellence. Alpine’s investment is intended to also help support future partnerships across the Midwest with similarly patient-centric ophthalmology practices that prioritize a high level of focus on clinical care.

Physician Growth Partners served as the exclusive advisor to Northeast Ohio Eye Surgeons.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience partnering with Physician Growth Partners. The lead partners were directly involved with our process and really grew to understand our medical business. They led us to a great valuation outcome, and at the same time helped us find a business partner that truly fit our needs,” Larry Lohman MD, Founding NEOES shareholder.

Dr. Marc Jones, NEOES shareholder, added, “Our experience with Physician Growth Partners (PGP) exceeded my expectations. We interviewed several firms prior to choosing PGP. We were immediately impressed with the partners’ knowledge of our business. It was clear they had already invested substantial time understanding our practice, business climate and opportunities. Throughout our process the managing partners were intimately involved and always accessible. The time and effort they put into our transaction was beyond my expectation and it manifested in us finding an excellent business partner and valuation. It was clear Michael and Ezra are seasoned advisors that knew how to attract, excite and reassure investors. The projections they presented us at our first meeting were very accurate and they delivered on all their promises. Their expertise was very assuring and made what I expected to be a stressful and time-consuming process fun and very manageable. Michael has a great skill in managing the financial and emotional concerns of multiple partners. I feel very fortunate to be a client of PGP.”

“This transaction exemplifies Northeast Ohio Eye’s focus on partnership throughout the process. The result was two groups that have a shared focus on building a premier eyecare group in the Midwest. Alpine brings immense healthcare experience to complement, and build around, the excellent clinical foundation and go forward goals of the physicians,” noted Michael Kroin, Managing Partner at Physician Growth Partners.
