Surgeon-Owners of Montgomery Surgery Center Partner with Blue Chip

Montgomery Surgery Center in Lansdale, Pennsylvania has engaged Blue Chip Surgical Center Partners as its exclusive management and business partner. A multi-specialty outpatient surgical center committed to the highest standards of patient care and comfort, Montgomery Surgery Center opened in 2002. About 2,400 patients are treated annually at the 8,000-square foot facility, which has two operating rooms and one treatment room.

“We sought a business partner who understood our dedication to world-class outcomes and a great patient experience,” said Joseph J. Kesselring, M.D., an Ophthalmologic Surgeon, and President of the ownership group. “Working with Blue Chip ensures that the entire team can remain focused on providing excellent patient care, while our financial and operational management will be greatly enhanced.”

“Talented, enthusiastic owners are the key to clinically distinguished and successful outpatient surgery centers,” said Tom Harris, Vice President, Operations, Blue Chip. “With the right business and clinical models, we are confident that our partnership with Montgomery Surgery Center will yield strong results for patients and surgeons alike.”

The agreement between Montgomery Surgery Center and Blue Chip, under which the physicians retain an 80% ownership stake, was effective in May 2008.
