Members of the FOCUS Healthcare team counted approximately 25 closed dermatology transactions in 2020. Of those, fifteen were for small single-dermatologist practices. Ten deals were for two-physician dermatology practices, and five deals were for three-to-six physician groups.

As mentioned in other posts, we believe that private equity’s dermatology consolidation has matured. Limited large deals are taking place, and instead groups are completing small add-on acquisitions.

There are still many large and medium groups who are waiting for the right partner. Many have been working to grow on their own and prepare for a sale. For those groups, we believe the timing might be right in 2021. Right now, there is a very competitive market for these strong remaining practices. On a macro level, we seem to be in a strong economic period with potential negative (for sellers) tax changes on the horizon.
