Remarking on the transaction, Dr. Christopher Quinn, CEO of Omni, said, “Ludwick marks our first affiliation in Maryland, while at the same time, supports our strategy of building density in our existing markets by adding three additional clinics and two ambulatory surgery centers in the Mid-Atlantic. Ludwick’s reputation in the Pennsylvania and Maryland markets is unparalleled and we are excited to begin our partnership with Drs. Ludwick, Weigel, and their team.”
Dr. David Ludwick, Ludwick Owner and Surgeon commented, “Partnering with Omni presents an opportunity for Ludwick and its employees to build upon the strong foundation already in place. Ludwick has been providing high quality eye care in the Mid-Atlantic for over two decades and we believe this affiliation will enable us to expand the resources available to our patients and providers alike.”
Luis Gonzalez, Partner at NMS, added, “The Ludwick partnership significantly expands our footprint in Pennsylvania and serves as Omni’s entry into Maryland, its fifth state. This transaction represents Omni’s fourth affiliation in less than two years and solidifies our presence as one of the largest ophthalmology groups in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic with 70 providers across 20 practice locations, including four ambulatory surgery centers and combined revenue in excess of $100 million.
