Sheridan, the Physician Services division of AMSURG Corp.
(NASDAQ: AMSG), has further expanded its anesthesiology services
business and its footprint in Northern California, through the
acquisition of Fidere Anesthesia Consultants, Inc. The group is
comprised of 38 physicians covering seven facilities. It delivers
both inpatient and outpatient anesthesia services for the El Camino
Hospital System, as well as a number of ambulatory surgery centers,
based in Silicon Valley. The combination provides a synergistic
complement to Physician Services’ previous Northern California
acquisition – Medical Anesthesia Consultants.
Dr. Robert Pinsker, MD, JD, and President of Fidere Anesthesia
Consultants, commented, “We were seeking a strategic partner to
help meet the challenges of a changing U.S. healthcare market and
strengthen the position of our physicians. After a thorough search,
we selected Sheridan as the partner who would best help us to grow
the unique programs we have established and position us
to thrive in this challenging market. Sheridan’s resources,
which include robust experience in anesthesiology and multiple
complementary service lines, made them the obvious partner.”
Robert J. Coward, President of Physician Services, noted,
“Sheridan’s acquisition of Fidere Anesthesia Consultants further
validates our strategy in California and strengthens our overall
presence in this important market. We are proud this outstanding
group of physicians is now part of our anesthesiology team; we know
they will continue to deliver excellent patient care and
outstanding service to client hospitals and ambulatory
facilities.”
