Acquired by TeamHealth
In the late 1990s, Drs. Steve Gottlieb and Tushar Ramani built an anesthesiology department at a community hospital and quickly established a reputation for quality medical care and customer-focused service. Their model was well-received, and other hospitals sought their help in organizing their own internal anesthesiology departments. The founders established Anesthetix to provide comprehensive anesthesiology and pain management solutions to hospitals and surgery centers. Although the company was growing well, Drs. Gottlieb and Ramani believed they could scale the business more quickly with the help of an experienced partner, and they chose to work with Summit.
How Summit Partners Helped
- Led a minority investment to provide shareholder liquidity and accelerate national expansion
- Worked closely with management to help strengthen corporate infrastructure, including financial reporting, human resources and business development
- Led the recruitment of two healthcare executives – James Emanuel of Lincare and George “Mac” McCleary of Senior Home Care – to the board of directors
After three years of strong growth, Anesthetix was acquired by TeamHealth, one of the largest suppliers of outsourced healthcare professional staffing in the United States. The acquisition provided Anethestix with access to a deeper pool of resources, and expanded the founders’ vision for a local delivery model supported by a national platform.
