The Most Consolidated Buyer Market in Medicine
Ophthalmology sellers rarely lack interest. What they lack is leverage. PE-backed eye care platforms blanket California with outreach, and the physician who negotiates with the only platform that called accepts that platform's terms. Our job is to create competition for your practice. We value and position it first, then confidentially approach the platforms, regional groups, and individual buyers that fit your practice. Everything runs under NDA, on your timeline.
What Eye Care Buyers Negotiate Hardest
- The compensation reset. Platform offers price EBITDA after reducing your post-close compensation; the multiple looks generous because the base was rebuilt. We model your true all-in economics against every offer: purchase price, future compensation, and rollover.
- The optical and ASC pieces. Some buyers want the dispensary and your surgery center units; some don't. Unbundling these correctly often adds more value than the headline negotiation.
- Rollover equity terms. Second-bite economics depend on governance, distribution, and exit rights that vary enormously between platforms. We've seen the range; you shouldn't learn it from one data point.
- Your surgical runway. Buyers price how long you'll keep operating. Honest commitments, contractually bounded, protect both the price and your retirement date.
Physician-to-Physician Sales Still Work
Not every exit is PE. Selling to an associate or a local group often preserves legacy and staff. With a certified valuation anchoring the price and SBA financing supporting the buyer, the economics can compete surprisingly well. We run both paths and let the numbers decide.
From valuation to close — our three-step process
- 1
Confidential Consultation
A private, no-obligation conversation about your goals, your timeline, and what a successful exit looks like. We share an informed perspective on the current market for practices like yours, and you decide whether to move forward.
- 2
Valuation & Positioning
We perform a valuation of your practice, normalizing earnings and weighing real transaction data, to arrive at an asking price that reflects its fair market value. We then position the practice for the buyer types that fit your goals.

Confidential Marketing & Sale
We market the practice confidentially, under NDA, through our buyer network and targeted outreach to physician groups, hospital systems, and private equity platforms. We negotiate competing offers and structure the sale to protect your net proceeds.
One platform calling? Make it several.
A competitive process is the only honest price discovery.

Frequently asked questions
Take the meeting if you like — but sign nothing, especially exclusivity, before knowing your value. A platform that wants your practice in a one-off conversation will still want it in a competitive process; the reverse is what they're hoping to avoid.
Often, yes, though many practice buyers want the ASC units too, and will pay for them. We value both assets and negotiate them as a package or separately, whichever maximizes your total outcome.
Most buyers, whether platform or physician, need your clinical team and retain it. Staff terms are negotiated in the definitive agreement; confidentiality until then is exactly why our process is NDA-gated.
