Professional Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy Acquires 13 New York Metro Clinics
Introduction
GREENWICH, CT and UNIONDALE, NY — Professional Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy (“Professional”), a Great Point Partners I, L.P. (“GPP”) portfolio company, has acquired the 13 Sports Physical Therapy of New York’s (“SPTNY”) downstate locations. Through this acquisition, Professional will provide broader New York City and Queens coverage, as well as expand its services into Brooklyn, Rockland County and the Bronx.
“The SPTNY acquisition is one of the most compelling deals we’ve done to date,” said President, CEO & Founding Partner Adam Elberg. “With 13 additional locations, we’ll be able to provide patients and physicians with greater flexibility of choice for treatment, as well as more career opportunities for our employees. We’re looking forward to integrating SPTNY’s team into the Professional family, as we continue to provide the best physical therapy care in the New York-Metropolitan area. Our priorities will always be excellent, individualized patient care and promoting an environment where employees can thrive.”
When asked about the sale of SPTNY’s downstate clinics to Professional, Lynn Steenberg, owner of SPTNY said, “It was critically important for us to find a company that would continue to emphasize the values we have created at Sports PT of New York. Because Sports PT will continue to service the upstate region of NY from Saratoga to Buffalo, it was important to divest our downstate business to a company that would provide the highest quality support to the staff, patients, and medical community. Professional can meet that high bar.”
Rohan Saikia, Senior Vice President of Great Point Partners and Board member of Professional added, “Since our partnership in 2011, the Company has grown rapidly from 10 facilities to over 40 facilities through a combination of starting new locations as well as 5 strategic and accretive acquisitions. The Company has truly differentiated itself as the most scalable, preeminent and highest quality provider in the region.”
