What buyers look at
What do buyers look for in a dermatology practice?
Dermatology buyers look hardest at provider depth, the balance of medical, surgical and cosmetic revenue, Mohs and pathology services, payer mix, room to grow, and how much of the practice depends on you.
Provider depth
Several dermatologists and physician assistants who plan to stay make the practice far easier to buy and grow.
Revenue mix
A healthy balance of medical, surgical and cosmetic revenue shows dependable demand plus cash-pay upside.
Mohs and pathology
In-house Mohs surgery and dermatopathology add earnings and are often a major reason buyers pay more.
Payer mix
Commercial, Medicare and cash-pay balance shapes how dependable earnings look to a buyer.
Room to grow
Open exam rooms, provider capacity and a market that supports another location tell buyers the practice can grow.
Your role after the sale
If you produce most of the revenue, buyers want a plan for staying on or handing patients to other providers.
Dermatology practice valuation
How is a dermatology practice valued?
A dermatology practice is usually valued on a multiple of adjusted EBITDA, with physician pay restated to market rates. Dermatology has been one of the most active specialties for private equity, so scale, several providers and in-house Mohs or pathology push the multiple up. Dermatology practice valuation guide →
Groups and multi-provider practices
A multiple of adjusted EBITDA
Earnings are restated with physician pay at market rates. Platforms often pay part of the price in rollover equity and ask key physicians to stay.
Solo and owner-led practices
Earnings adjusted for owner dependence
When the owner sees most patients, buyers pay less for revenue that may not stay. A handoff plan before you sell can change the number.
Your number depends on your practice. A free valuation looks at your providers, revenue mix, ancillaries and payers, and gives you a realistic range before you talk to any buyer.

Who buys dermatology practices?
Dermatology practices are bought by private equity-backed dermatology platforms, regional dermatology groups, multi-specialty groups and health systems, and individual dermatologists ready to own a practice.
Dermatology platforms
Private equity-backed groups building regional or national dermatology networks, usually with rollover equity for you.
Regional groups
Established dermatology practices adding locations, providers and patient bases.
Health systems and groups
Health systems and multi-specialty groups adding dermatology for their patients.
Individual dermatologists
Dermatologists ready to own a practice, often the best fit for a solo practice.
Private equity
Should I sell my dermatology practice to private equity?
It depends on your size and goals: dermatology platforms often pay the most for multi-provider practices, but usually pay part of the price in rollover equity and ask you to stay and keep producing, while another dermatologist or a regional group may offer a simpler exit.

Who buys dermatology practices?
Private equity-backed dermatology platforms, regional dermatology groups, multi-specialty groups and health systems, and individual dermatologists.
Does cosmetic revenue help or hurt a dermatology sale?
It usually helps when it sits alongside a strong medical and surgical base, because cash-pay cosmetic revenue adds growth. Buyers look at whether it depends on one provider and how steady it is year to year.
What happens to my associate dermatologists and Mohs surgeons?
Buyers usually want them to stay, so their agreements, compensation and plans are part of the deal. We plan their role before buyers ask.
How long does it take to sell a dermatology practice?
Most sales take 4 to 9 months from the first valuation to closing, sometimes less and sometimes more, depending on preparation, the buyer and any lender or payer approvals.
How much does a dermatology practice broker cost?
Medical Exit Group works on commission only, so we are paid when your practice sells.
