CHICAGO—Midwest Vision Partners, an eyecare management services organization backed by private equity, has announced new partnerships with Grosinger, Spigelman, & Grey (GSG); Cataract & Eye Consultants of Michigan (CECOM); and the Eye Surgery Center Of Michigan (ESCM). GSG and CECOM represent MVP’s ninth and 10th partnerships and extend its footprint into the Greater Detroit region. GSG and CECOM provide a comprehensive suite of medical and surgical eyecare services, including premium cataract surgery, laser vision correction, disease management treatments, and retina services.

ESCM is an award-winning, single-specialty ambulatory surgery center supporting leading ophthalmologists in Greater Detroit. Collectively, the groups add seven physicians, over 150 employees, and four locations to the MVP network.

“We spent considerable time and effort looking for a partnership with the very best eye physicians and surgeons in Michigan and Ohio and were excited to discover that MVP provides exactly what we were seeking,” said Dr. Les Grosinger, of Grosinger, Spigelman & Grey. “We strongly believe this relationship will further our track record of providing exceptional care and clinical results to our patients, utilizing the very latest technology, for years to come.”

Dr. Alan Parent, of Cataract & Eye Consultants of Michigan, added, “We’re very excited to join the MVP family and take advantage of their suite of operational best practices, management resources, and clinical collaboration. In doing so, we hope this partnership will facilitate great patient experiences and continued growth of our practices."

Joseph Giles, MVP’s president and chief executive officer, said the organization was thrilled to partner with the physicians and staff at Grosinger, Spigelman, & Grey and Cataract & Eye Consultants of Michigan, along with the leadership team and staff at Eye Surgery Center of Michigan.

“These groups represent some of the best in the Greater Detroit area and will be excellent partners as we expand our services to patients in the region,” Giles said in the announcement. “During this process, I learned how much the physicians and staff are dedicated to each other and to partnering with MVP, and we look forward to creating raving fans of our patients, physicians, and staff, and growing our presence in Southeast Michigan.”

Headquartered in Chicago, Midwest Vision Partners’ network consists of 10 practices, over 1,000 employees, and over 108 physicians providing optical, medical, and surgical eyecare services at 48 locations. MVP is backed by Alpine Investors, a San Francisco-based private equity firm focused primarily on software and services businesses.

MVP also noted that it “is eager to provide the same growth opportunity for other eyecare providers in the Midwest,” according to the announcement.
