Is private equity knocking at your door but you don’t want to let them in? How can you if they’re floating an attractive offer? Dr. Chad Fleming with Wichita Optometry has faced down Private Equity and shares how he’s done it.
Dr. Chad Fleming is an optometrist at Wichita Optometry in Wichita KS. He’s been practicing Optometry since 2002 with a focus on primary eye care and a special interest in helping patients find relief from dry eye.
Dr. Fleming also has a lot of experience on the business side of an optometry practice. He’s fended off Private Equity, our topic today, and he started and is a principal of PIPGPO, which helps optometry practices stay up to date on new lenses and frames at a much lower cost compared to doing it themselves.
In this episode Carl White and Dr. Chad Fleming discuss:
- What a P/E offer can look like
- What multiples Dr. Fleming is seeing on offers to buy practices these days
- How PIPGPO helps optometry practices save money on lenses and frames, thus helping them stay private
