The San Diego Inputs That Move the Number

Methodology is our statewide standard (see how we value); San Diego changes the inputs. Payer analysis must handle TRICARE and community-care referral volume competently — a revenue line many appraisers misprice in both directions. Replacement compensation reflects a market where physician recruitment competes with lifestyle-driven in-migration. Referral durability analysis maps onto system alignment: a practice feeding Scripps-affiliated specialists has different transferability characteristics than one inside Sharp's orbit, and the income approach should know the difference. Comps get matched on San Diego transactions and structurally similar markets — not LA noise.

Engagements We See Most in San Diego

  • System offer evaluations — alignment and acquisition proposals from the region's systems, modeled against independent-path economics.
  • Buy-ins across the county's strong group-practice culture — independent numbers both sides sign (see buy-in valuation).
  • Divorce valuations in San Diego family court matters — Detailed Reports with litigation support.
  • PE offer second opinions as platform activity expands countywide.
  • SBA appraisals for practice purchases, including military-spouse and veteran physician buyers active in this market.

Practicalities

On-site interviews countywide — we're ninety minutes up I-5 and make the trip routinely. Turnaround 1–2 weeks from complete documents; free discovery call first; San Diego brokerage continues seamlessly if the number says sell.

Three Engagement Tiers, One Standard

We scope the right tier on your discovery call, so you never pay for more report than your purpose requires.

Hourly Consulting

Scoped on your call

A second opinion without commissioning a full valuation. Physicians use it for an independent read on a private equity offer, a partner buy-in, or a purchase they are weighing before signing a letter of intent.

Summary Report

Starting at $3,950

Detailed Report

Starting at $7,500

The gold standard, with full documentation of data, methodology, and assumptions, prepared in compliance with USPAP. Required where the number will be challenged: divorce, shareholder disputes, and gift & estate tax filings.

A clear, three-step process

    A confidential conversation about your practice, your timeline, and the purpose of the valuation. We scope the right report tier before you commit to anything.

  2. 2

    Financial Analysis & Interviews

  3. 3

    Certified Opinion of Value

    You receive a defensible, USPAP-compliant conclusion of value, walked through line by line. The report is documented to withstand scrutiny from a buyer, a court, a partner, or a lender.

Frequently asked questions

If TRICARE or community-care referrals are material to revenue, yes — that volume is demographically durable (the bases aren't moving) but rate-structured. We quantify its contribution and stability rather than letting a buyer treat unfamiliarity as risk.

In payer depth (strong Medicare supplement and commercial mix), per-patient revenue, and panel-aging analysis within the income approach. Coastal San Diego panels often justify durability premiums — with the actuarial honesty the demographics also demand.

Yes — remote document flow, off-site or after-hours interviews, and discretion as the default. Most valuations complete without any staff awareness.
