PE or Not?

Private equity firms have bought thousands of dental offices, vet clinics and eye care practices, and most keep their old local names. PE or Not? tells you who's behind a specific business. Ask about one practice and you get its label (PE-backed; PE-backed, now lender-controlled; corporate-owned; health system; clinician-owned group practice; or no known PE ties), the owner group, its private equity backers and since when, how the match was made, and dated sources. Ask about an area and you get the practices there filtered by ownership, for example dentists in a city with no known PE ties. Ask about a group or brand and you get its owners, backers, brands and locations. Coverage: every dental and eye care practice in the US national provider registry checked against the groups that own them, plus national veterinary, dermatology and GI chains: about 65,000 locations of 500+ groups. Labels describe ownership, not quality of care. No sign-in; the server only sees the business you ask about. Published by TechCrowds, LLC.
