A rare opportunity to acquire an established, profitable endocrinology practice in Orange County, California, operating continuously from the same location since 2009. The defining feature for a buyer is its independence from the founder: the physician-owner personally provides only about 10–12% of annual patient encounters, while three long-tenured Nurse Practitioners — all with the practice since 2018 — independently manage the majority of routine endocrine care under physician supervision, supported by an Office Manager who has run daily administration since 2012. The single biggest risk in buying a physician practice — that the practice is the physician — has largely been engineered out.
The practice serves a strong, referral-driven patient base of roughly 8,000 patient encounters per year across office visits and telemedicine, with a standing new-patient wait list of one to two months in a market with a well-documented shortage of endocrinologists. Demand consistently exceeds current provider capacity.
The financials are clean and durable: no business debt, no litigation, no liens. The payor base is favorably weighted toward managed care — Medicare, managed Medi-Cal, and numerous HMOs, IPAs, and MSOs — with most contracts paying approximately 110–120% of Medicare rates, and participation in an Accountable Care Organization adds recurring performance-based incentive payments on top of office-visit collections. Gross collections were approximately $1.39 million in 2023, producing Seller’s Discretionary Earnings of about $449,000 (a ~32% margin); SDE has averaged roughly $426,000 over the past five years.
The clinical and administrative team is experienced, multilingual (English, Spanish, and Vietnamese), and exceptionally stable, and is expected to remain through and after a transition. Operations run on a long-established electronic health record with minimal anticipated capital expenditure.
This is a turnkey acquisition for a board-certified endocrinologist ready to own an independent practice with an established referral network and no start-up risk, or for an endocrinology or multi-specialty group seeking a low-risk Orange County foothold with unrealized growth capacity. The owner is retiring after more than 17 years and will support a mutually agreed transition.
Offered at $890,000 — $790,000 cash at close plus $100,000 in seller financing available to a qualified physician buyer (approximately 2.0x SDE). The facility is leased, not owned. A signed NDA and buyer qualification are required for the full information package. Practice identity is withheld to protect confidentiality.
