Mid-Florida Endodontics and SRM Equity Partners Announce Strategic Partnership
February 3, 2025 – Austin, TX – SRM Equity Partners (“SRM”), an operationally-focused private equity firm, and Mid-Florida Endodontics (“MFE”), a leading specialty dentistry platform, is pleased to announce a partnership to expand MFE’s patient-centric care model to patients, providers, and payers across the Southeast. The partnership became effective December 10, 2024.
MFE is among the largest endodontic practices in the United States, offering patients a full suite of services across its accessible sites of care, empowering its providers via a robust management services organization, and serving payers as a clinically-excellent and cost-effective partner for tooth pain. MFE’s modern offices are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including surgical operating microscopes, digital radiography, 3-D tooth imaging (CBCT scans), and computer-assisted local anesthetic delivery systems that enable MFE’s specialists to provide root canal therapy, surgery, retreatment, and trauma care.
“MFE has been built on a mission to develop a like-minded network of specialty dentistry professionals, whose commitment to advancing technology and care techniques would be surpassed only by a dedication to personal patient care delivered at the local level,” said Brad Lipkin, D.D.S., a Co-Founder of MFE. “SRM presented us with a differentiated proposition to preserve our dentist-led culture and reputation for delivering the highest quality clinical care, while adding strategic expertise, a programmatic approach to completing and integrating affiliations, and capital to expedite our expansion plan. We look forward to working closely with the Board established with SRM on a geographically-focused growth plan.”
SRM is a private equity firm with headquarters in Atlanta, GA, and Austin, TX that partners with founders and executives to make investments in businesses poised for accelerated organic and acquisitive growth. “We look forward to partnering with specialty dentists and leveraging deep healthcare domain expertise for strategic growth” added Ivan Osinsky, Vice President at SRM.
Aaron Isler, D.D.S., a Co-Founder of MFE, remarked, “Our partnership with SRM is at a key time in the evolution of specialty dentistry which we believe will complete its consolidation phase over the next decade. SRM’s expertise in operations and investing, their team’s diverse backgrounds, and the firm’s capital base position MFE to build on its accomplished track record by adding new providers to our team, new locations to our broad regional footprint, and new patients seeking compassionate care our team has worked diligently to deliver.” Jeremiah Yu, SRM Managing Partner added, “We are enthusiastic about partnering with Brad and Aaron, and we look forward to the next chapter of MFE’s expansion.”
Patients and referring providers should expect no changes to MFE’s providers and patient-centric care model. MFE’s dentists will continue in their current roles with the organization, while maintaining a significant ownership interest in MFE with SRM. Jeremiah Yu, Ivan Osinsky, and Joseph Silverman led the transaction on behalf of SRM.
