Opportunities to Attract New Partners By Carrie Pallardy As physicians consider employment and hospitals race to ab- sorb physician practices, ambulatory surgery center leaders are left wondering whether or not there are still opportunities to attract new physician investment. The answer is yes, ASC leaders just need to know where to look and how to navigate the rocky landscape of the changing healthcare market. Ambulatory surgery center physician owners have the challenging task of simultaneously treating patients and running a business, both of which they aim to accomplish successfully. Urfan Dar, MD, and Joshua Siegel, MD, and Kenneth Pettine, MD, are physician owners of ASCs who take active roles in their centers' business operations and management. Dr. Dar is a pain management physi- cian, owner and medical director of Theda Oaks Surgery Center in San Antonio, Texas; Dr. Siegel is the di- rector of sports medicine at Access Sports Medicine and Orthopaedics in Exeter, N.H.; and Dr. Pettine is a spine surgeon and founder of The Spine Institute and Loveland (Colo.) Surgery Center. The three physicians discuss why it is crucial for physicians to have at least a basic understanding of their ASC's business operations and how less in- volved physicians can renew their ef- forts to take more active roles.
