Established | Profitable | Positioned for GrowthAn exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-established, full-service dermatology practice in one of the most demographically attractive markets in the United States. Southwest Florida's affluent, rapidly growing, and sun-exposed population represents a near-ideal patient base for a dermatology practice, driving consistent demand across both medical and aesthetic service lines.Founded nearly a decade ago by a board-certified dermatologist, this practice has built a trusted brand, a loyal patient following, and a sterling reputation that took years to cultivate. The founding physician is prepared to support a smooth and professional transition.The PracticeThis is a true multi-specialty dermatology platform offering a comprehensive blend of medical, surgical, and aesthetic services — capturing revenue across every major segment of the dermatology market:- General medical dermatology across all age groups, including pediatric and family care- Skin cancer screening, biopsy, pathology coordination, and treatment of precancerous and cancerous lesions- Surgical dermatology including excisions, lesion removals, and in-office procedures- Specialty and referral-based evaluations for complex and autoimmune skin conditions- A strong aesthetic and cosmetic service line generating high-margin cash-pay revenue- A balanced mix of insurance-based and cash-pay services — provides both stability and upside, insulating the practice from payer volatility while benefiting from the robust cosmetic demand characteristic of this affluent market.Why This Opportunity Stands Out- Elite market demographics – the local population skews older, wealthier, and sun-exposed, the single best combination for dermatology demand- Proven, established brand – over near a decade of market presence with a loyal patient base already in place- High-margin cosmetic revenue – a strong aesthetic offering drives cash-pay income at premium margins- PE roll-up ready – Florida dermatology practices are among the most active targets in the current private equity consolidation landscape, making this an attractive platform or add-on acquisition- Turnkey operation – walk in and practice on day oneA signed Non-Disclosure Agreement, financial profile, and resume are required prior to the release of financial statements, practice name, provider identity, and specific location details.

Why we like it
- Earnings Quality is exceptional with $852k cash flow on $2.24M revenue (38% margin) driven by a balanced mix of insurance reimbursements and high-margin cash-pay cosmetic services. The diversified revenue streams across medical, surgical, and aesthetic services provide multiple collection points and reduce single-payer dependency. Medical necessity procedures ensure baseline revenue stability while cosmetic services drive premium margins.
- Durability & Moat comes from nearly a decade of established market presence creating patient loyalty and referral networks that take years to replicate. The practice serves Southwest Florida's affluent, aging, sun-exposed demographic that represents ideal dermatology demand drivers with consistent medical need and discretionary cosmetic spending power. The comprehensive service offering creates patient stickiness across multiple life stages and treatment needs.
- Market Tailwinds include Florida's population growth, aging demographics, and year-round sun exposure driving consistent dermatology demand. The aesthetic medicine market continues expanding as procedures become more mainstream and accessible. Southwest Florida's affluent retiree population provides both medical necessity and discretionary spending for cosmetic services, creating a nearly recession-proof patient base.
- Operator Advantage exists for buyers with healthcare experience who can optimize scheduling efficiency, expand aesthetic service offerings, and potentially add locations or providers. The practice is positioned for private equity roll-up activity in Florida's active dermatology consolidation market, providing potential exit optionality. The founder's transition support reduces typical medical practice acquisition risks.
How to improve it
- Optimize scheduling and capacity utilization by implementing advanced practice management software and demand forecasting to reduce appointment gaps and maximize provider productivity. Many dermatology practices operate at 60-70% capacity due to scheduling inefficiencies, leaving significant revenue on the table that can be captured through better systems.
- Expand aesthetic service menu with high-margin procedures like injectables, laser treatments, and cosmetic consultations that can generate $300-500+ per visit versus $150-200 for medical visits. Train existing staff on aesthetic protocols and consider adding a dedicated cosmetic coordinator to drive this revenue stream.
- Implement membership and package programs for cosmetic patients to increase patient lifetime value and create predictable cash flow. Annual skincare packages, Botox membership plans, and preventive care bundles can improve patient retention while commanding premium pricing for bundled services.
- Add satellite locations or mobile services to capture market share in surrounding areas where the brand recognition can extend. Southwest Florida's growth markets may support additional locations with lower overhead while leveraging the established brand and patient referral network.
- Develop telemedicine capabilities for follow-up consultations, routine check-ins, and preliminary screenings to increase patient touchpoints and generate additional revenue without requiring in-office visits. This can be particularly valuable for cosmetic consultation and post-procedure care.
- Negotiate better insurance reimbursement rates by demonstrating patient outcomes, satisfaction scores, and practice efficiency metrics to payers. Established practices with strong patient volumes often have leverage to improve reimbursement terms during contract renewals.
- Cross-train staff to handle both medical and aesthetic services, reducing labor costs while improving patient experience through continuity of care. This operational efficiency can improve margins while creating better patient relationships.
- Implement patient financing options for cosmetic procedures to remove price barriers and increase procedure volume. Many patients delay aesthetic treatments due to upfront costs, but financing can convert these prospects into paying patients.
Diligence notes
- Verify the insurance mix and reimbursement stability by reviewing payer contracts, claims processing times, and any recent reimbursement rate changes that could impact future cash flow. Understanding the specific insurance relationships and any pending contract renewals is critical for projecting sustainable earnings.
- Analyze patient demographics and retention rates to confirm the loyal patient base claims, including average patient age, geographic distribution, frequency of visits, and percentage of patients who return for multiple services. Strong patient retention indicates sustainable demand and referral potential.
- Review the aesthetic revenue breakdown and pricing power by examining cash-pay service volumes, average transaction values, and seasonal patterns to understand the stability and growth potential of the high-margin cosmetic business. Confirm whether aesthetic demand has remained consistent during economic downturns.
- Examine the facility lease terms, location demographics, and competition analysis to understand market positioning and future rent obligations. Southwest Florida real estate can be volatile, and understanding the practice's physical footprint and market competitive dynamics is essential for long-term planning.
