The ambulatory surgery center industry recognizes two models for locally-owned and managed surgery centers. Medical Surgical Partners’ founder, David M. Thoene, was instrumental in perfecting both models.

Mr. Thoene has 27 years’ experience consulting for and developing ambulatory surgery centers throughout the United States. Mr. Thoene has published articles in national trade journals on topics such as evaluating real estate options for surgery center development. He has been a speaker at national conferences on topics related to ASC development; and he was named in Today’s Surgicenter 2007 Who’s Who in the ASC Industry.
Mr. Thoene’s background and expertise includes the turnkey development of ASCs, surgical specialty hospitals and medical office buildings.
