- A $12.8M Medical Practice With 50% Margins Just Hit the Market
A $12.8M Medical Practice With 50% Margins Just Hit the Market
This multi-location injury-care system is one of the most profitable healthcare deals we’ve analyzed this year.
THE QUIET GIANT OF INJURY CARE
A Multi-Location Medical System Positioned at the Center of a Booming Industry
Many healthcare businesses operate.
A few scale.
Even fewer dominate a niche so completely that they quietly become the backbone of an entire region’s medical infrastructure.
This is one of those rare cases.
Across multiple strategically positioned Ohio facilities, this injury-focused medical practice has become the first call and central hub for patients suffering from auto accidents, workplace injuries, and personal injury trauma — an industry whose demand has not only stabilized but surged over the last decade.
And unlike most medical practices struggling with margin compression, staffing shortages, and insurance volatility…
This one is thriving.
According to the financial summary on page 3,
the practice produces:
$12.8M in annual revenue
$6.45M EBITDA (a 50.4% margin — virtually unheard of in clinical healthcare)
$3M in modern medical equipment assets recently updated and fully operational
This isn’t just healthy.
This is elite-tier performance.
Especially in an industry where the average independent clinic operates at 8–15% EBITDA margins, according to Becker’s Hospital Review (public data, no NDA required).
This practice is operating at 50.4%.
Numbers like that tell a story:
This is a mature, optimized, and extremely profitable medical system with structural advantages that are difficult — and expensive — to replicate.
WHY THIS INDUSTRY IS EXPLODING
A Perfect Storm of Legal, Demographic & Economic Tailwinds
To understand why a practice like this has become so valuable, you need to understand the macro forces driving demand.
Here are the biggest:
1. Auto accidents are increasing, not decreasing.
Despite safer vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports rising accident severity nationwide — meaning more injury evaluations, more diagnostics, and more long-term treatment needs.
Who benefits?
Specialty injury clinics with multi-location capacity.
2. Personal injury law is a $53B industry and growing.
Law firms increasingly prefer established medical partners who:
Understand documentation needs
Provide defensible clinical reports
Deliver consistent patient outcomes
Operate across multiple locations
This practice checks every box.
3. Worker’s compensation claims remain consistently high.
OSHA data shows nearly 3 million workplace injuries annually in the U.S.
And treatment can extend for months, not weeks.
Stable, predictable, recession-resistant demand.
4. Healthcare consolidation is accelerating.
Private equity, insurance groups, and hospital systems are buying specialty clinics aggressively — particularly those with:
Strong EBITDA
Multi-location footprints
Updated equipment
Turnkey operational systems
All of which this practice possesses.
5. Aging population = more orthopedic & spine demand
This practice offers advanced orthopedic and spine services (page 2), placing it directly in the growth path of America’s fastest-expanding medical segment.
In short:
This industry is swelling.
This practice is perfectly positioned.
And the combination makes the valuation far easier to justify than most deals of this size.
THE PRACTICE’S UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
Clinical Capabilities Competitors Cannot Easily Replicate
According to the operational overview on page 2, the system provides a spectrum of specialized services rarely found under one umbrella:
Soft tissue injury treatment
Closed head trauma care
Orthopedic interventions
Spine treatment
State-of-the-art diagnostic imaging (supported by $3M+ in equipment)
This creates vertical patient capture, meaning:
Once a patient enters their ecosystem,
they almost never need to leave it.
This increases:
Case value
Referral preference
Treatment consistency
Revenue predictability
Legal partnership strength
Most injury practices lack this depth.
This one delivers it across multiple locations, multiplying defensibility.
THE FINANCIALS — THE MOST COMPELLING PART
On page 3, the financial profile stands out as one of the cleanest we’ve seen this quarter:
$12.8M revenue
$6.45M EBITDA
50.4% EBITDA margin
Modernized infrastructure
$3M medical equipment base
Let’s be clear:
A 50%+ EBITDA margin in a clinical business is not normal.
It is exceptional.
This tells us:
The practice is optimized. (Staffing, cost structure, referral management.)
Pricing power exists.
Demand exceeds supply.
The marketplace views this practice as premium.
Operational systems are already professional-grade.
This is not a turnaround.
This is not distressed.
This is not “potential.”
This is a high-performance business already functioning at scale.
WHY THIS IS A RARE ACQUISITION PLAY
A Story Not of Survival — But Dominance
Most medical group acquisitions fall into one of three categories:
Struggling practices needing modernization
Mid-tier practices competing for referrals
Well-run practices with modest margins
This business is none of them.
It is an outlier.
A high-margin, multi-location, specialty practice with:
Consistent YoY growth
A defensible referral ecosystem
Elite profitability
Updated equipment
A long-term operational track record
A niche with rising national demand
Scalability into new markets
For investors, strategic buyers, or medical roll-up groups, this is the type of asset that becomes a regional anchor —
the keystone that all future acquisitions revolve around.
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BUYER
Where the upside still exists
Even at $36M, the valuation is justified by EBITDA alone.
But the upside is still enormous:
1. Expand into neighboring cities
Ohio’s accident volume and industrial economy support further location expansion.
2. Add MRI & imaging services to more locations
Diagnostics are one of the highest-margin components in accident medicine.
3. Introduce digital patient intake + telehealth triage
Reduces bottlenecks and expands referral capture.
4. Deepen relationships with injury law firms
Most firms prefer consistent reporting and multi-location availability.
This practice already excels at both.
5. Enter adjacent verticals
Chiropractic
Physical therapy
Pain management
Medical-legal evaluation services
Occupational health
Each increases case value and increases stickiness.
THE STORY THIS DEAL TELLS
Not all deals scream.
Some whisper.
And when a medical practice generates:
Eight figures in revenue
Seven figures in equipment
Mid-eight-figure annual profit
50%+ margins
…that whisper becomes unmistakable.
It says:
“This is a rare asset. Handle it with intention.”
This is not just an acquisition.
This is a cornerstone.
A business that will define the next owner’s portfolio for years.
