Private equity firm Sterling Partners has partnered with Kids Care Dental Group, a multi-unit paediatric dental care practice that serves toddlers, children and teens.
Terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
Via six office locations throughout the Sacramento area, Kids Care offers a comfortable and fun environment, dentists with advanced education in paediatric dentistry, staff that has training for and experience in treating and interacting with children, and a suite of high-quality oral health services including dentistry, orthodontics and oral surgery.
Dr Aaron Reeves, Kids Care founder and chairman, will remain a partner and continue as a board member.
“We chose Sterling Partners due to their track record for growing healthcare companies that focus on quality patient experiences,” says Reeves, who founded the practice in 2002. “Sterling shares our long-term vision for expansion, attracting top talent, forming new relationships with families and changing the way kids and their parents think about going to the dentist.”
“As a firm that is drawn to purpose-driven businesses, we were attracted to Dr Reeves’ steadfast devotion to providing a differentiated dental model for kids,” says Dan Hosler, a Sterling Partners principal. “We will leverage our experience operating multi-unit businesses to help the company accelerate its growth trajectory so that its dental health professionals can focus on what they do best: providing a positive patient experience that builds lifelong oral hygiene habits.”
