Praesidian Capital Expands Pediatric Urgent Care Access
Praesidian Capital, a private equity firm based in Oklahoma City, has recently announced the opening of its third Care+ Pediatrics clinic at 8500 S. Western Avenue in South Oklahoma City. This latest addition aims to improve access to pediatric urgent care for families in the region, especially during non-traditional hours.
The decision to expand to this location came after analyzing demographic growth trends and the increasing demand on hospital emergency departments. Jason Drattell, the founder of Praesidian Capital, highlighted that this move allows for better healthcare availability in an underserved corridor, making pediatric healthcare more accessible to families in need.
Kevin Burke, Managing Director at Praesidian Capital, emphasized the firm’s commitment to smart growth while maintaining the quality of care. He mentioned that Care+ Pediatrics has consistently provided short wait times and a positive patient experience. This new clinic not only reinforces their confidence in the Care+ model but also sets the stage for future expansions throughout Oklahoma and potentially neighboring states.
At the helm of Care+ Pediatrics is Dr. Justin Pespisa, a board-certified pediatrician trained at Vanderbilt University. His approach emphasizes high-quality treatment for infants, children, and adolescents, creating a welcoming environment for young patients. The clinic is equipped with advanced digital X-ray capabilities, which are interpreted by certified radiologists, enabling effective treatment for various common pediatric conditions,
including respiratory illnesses, minor injuries, and routine sports physicals.
With a focus on convenience and accessibility, Care+ Pediatrics accepts all major insurance carriers and offers an online reservation system that allows families to secure their spots before arriving. This innovative system is designed to minimize in-clinic wait times, catering to the hectic schedules of busy parents.
As Praesidian Capital continues to invest in the growth of Care+ Pediatrics, the firm has solidified its reputation in the investment community by committing approximately $1 billion towards over 100 middle market businesses since its founding in 2002. By focusing on health service providers such as Care+ Pediatrics, Praesidian aims to ensure that healthcare remains a priority for families across Oklahoma.
