Private Equity: Lucrative Business Opportunity or the Doom of Modern Medicine? - Mark Rieboldt

The Scope of Practice Podcast

Episode 48 - A lot of physicians I’ve talked to have had some bad experiences with private equity. Maybe they got a big payout but they lost so much autonomy and had their workload increased so much that they ended up retiring or leaving the practice because they just couldn’t stand the working conditions. But, I’ve talked with other docs that said the private equity deal they did was fantastic. They got a big payout, they’ve grown their business faster than they thought possible, and the equity company is a great partner that just wants them to be able to practice great medicine on the doctors’ terms. I'm grateful to have Mark Rieboldt of The Coker Group on the podcast today to talk about private equity deals.

Not every private equity deal is bad. If you do your due diligence, a private equity deal could end up being a great opportunity for your business. I would encourage you to not reject every PE deal out of hand, but take each opportunity on a case by case basis. Listen to the podcast episode today to learn all about private equity and decide if it's a good move for your business.
