From the inception of Ambulatory Alliances, we wanted to build an exceptional investment banking firm that could assist accomplished physician owners with what will be the most impactful and sometimes most daunting process of their careers. To be able to do this, we needed a different business model.

Prior to forming Ambulatory Alliances, our core team worked with physicians to help them acquire and retain the best and brightest talent. While working with them in that capacity, we began to better understand our physician partners and their needs. We gained mutual admiration and respect for their entrepreneurial drive and recognized that some of them needed help in the process of selling their center. We also came to understand that while many of the buyers of ambulatory centers employ well-seasoned M&A and development staffs, physician owners could benefit from our industry expertise and unique skills and capabilities in regard to the selling procedure.

We saw that physician owners, when contemplating selling their centers, felt they were at a disadvantage. This observation helped us recognize that this sector was underserved, and that there was a profound opportunity for us to fill this void by building a firm that was highly differentiated and special.

Over time, we believe that Ambulatory Alliances' accomplishments will be measured by the success of the physician owners we support and the enduring legacy that we create together.
