Plan Your Future
You built it. You keep it.
Selling your practice should not mean handing over your name, your staff or how you practise medicine. It should mean losing the parts of the job you never trained for.

The four questions we get asked
What you are really asking
-
Will my name survive this?
Your practice keeps its name, its brand and its place in the community. You spent a career making that name mean something locally, and erasing it would destroy the value we are buying. Nothing about the sign, the logo or the reputation changes.
I wanted to find a group that cultivated the individual spirit of the practice. A company where opinions and patients mattered and my brand would stay intact.
Dr. Christopher Ho Irradiance Dermatology · Partner since 2021 -
What happens to my staff?
They stay, and you keep setting their salaries. Your team is the reason the practice runs the way it does. We add a national benefits platform, payroll, HR and recruiting behind them, so the people stay yours and the paperwork becomes ours.
Being a partner of DermCare has given me the ability to concentrate on what I have always wanted to do… practice medicine. My practice enjoys the benefits of group pricing, reduced overhead, management of HR & marketing, while giving me and my staff the independence to treat our patients with the highest standard of care.
Dr. Eduardo Weiss Hollywood Dermatology · Partner since 2017 -
Will I still practise my way?
You remain a full partner, not an employee. You set your hours, your schedule and your vacation. You decide which services you perform and which equipment you buy. No one at DermCare tells a physician how to treat a patient.
DermCare made our transition to their platform smooth and easy. It has made me happy to relinquish the day-to-day administrative duties of my practice to experienced and knowledgeable experts. The true beneficiaries of this partnership have been our patients, and FADC's dedication to their care.
Dr. Francisco Kerdel Florida Academic Dermatology Center · Partner since 2017 -
What does this actually do for me financially?
There is no fixed model. What you are paid, and how, is settled in conversation about your practice rather than applied from a template. Partners keep unlimited earning opportunity and can draw on capital to acquire other practices.
I am very happy to be on a team with laser focus and experience in building a great company. The more I interact with the principal players, the more confident I feel I picked the right partners to monetize my past 30 years and continue to grow my practice.
Dr. Carlos Wolf Miami Plastic Surgery · Partner since 2018

Before you call
Questions we are asked first
What is the financial value of my legacy?
Each practice varies. From services to partnership models to location(s). Through an extremely confidential introductory call we will discuss your practice, potential reasons for selling, and what your goals are (present & future) when you partner with DermCare. A 30 minute initial conversation should give you a good perspective if this is the right timing / situation / partner company for your practice(s).
Does the practice name stay the same?
Yes. Your legacy will remain intact.
Am I going to be told when I have to work?
We want to keep things running as smooth as possible after the negotiated terms of the transaction. During our initial talks, it is you who will guide us on the history of the hours, what has worked historically and what we need to accomplish going forward for practice hours.
Do I get paid on a production basis, certain services, lab reads, etc?
Unlike some of the other groups out there, we do not have a cookie cutter model for each practice. Discussions around what makes sense to ensure your salary is commiserate with what you make want annually is top of mind during the final negotiations. We understand the value of your time and medical expertise.
Confidential
Let's talk
