2 PRACTICE MANAGEMENT 2016
At Cross Keys Capital, we’ve helped hundreds of
anesthesiologists maximize the value of their practices.
In fact, no other investment banking firm is more
experienced in mergers and acquisitions of independently
owned anesthesiology groups or has closed more
anesthesiology transactions than Cross Keys Capital.
Maybe now is the time to take advantage of the real
value you have built in your practice - by selling all
or part of your practice.
This event is not sponsored or endorsed by ASA.
