Strategic Expansion: MAX Surgical Growth in Greater Philadelphia and Lancaster County

MAX Surgical Specialty Management Expands in Pennsylvania

MAX Surgical Specialty Management, often referred to as MAX, has announced a significant expansion into Pennsylvania, particularly focusing on the Greater Philadelphia area and Lancaster County. This move marks a pivotal step for the company, positioning itself as a premier support platform for oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practices.

Setting the Stage for Growth

The recent partnerships established by MAX add two more highly esteemed oral surgery groups, bringing their total presence in Pennsylvania to four leading groups, which encompass six individual practices. Notably, these partnerships are steeped in clinical excellence, driven by some of the most respected names in the field of oral surgery.

Having already set a strong foundation with past collaborations, including the 2024 partnership with Lititz Oral Surgery and the 2025 affiliation with Rothman and Kim Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, MAX continues to demonstrate an appealing environment for top-tier clinical partners. This is all part of MAX's overarching goal to promote surgical excellence and improved patient outcomes.

Introducing New Leaders

Two prominent figures joining the MAX platform are Dr. Robert Mogyoros, DMD, from Greater Philadelphia Oral Surgery, and Dr. James P. Murphy, DMD, from Lebanon Lancaster Oral Surgery Group. Dr. Mogyoros is renowned for his innovative work in bone regeneration and grafting, which not only emphasizes his clinical skills but also underscores his commitment to advancing the field. His contributions have been widely recognized, as he frequently shares insights at various national and international conferences.

On the other hand, Dr. Murphy is a decorated military veteran and board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, bringing decades of experience from his service in the U.S. Army and Air Force. His profound compassion in patient care and commitment to mentorship—evident through his clinical instruction at premier military medical centers such as Walter Reed—solidify his reputation within the surgical community.

Jason M. Auerbach, DDS, the Founder and Co-CEO of MAX, emphasized the distinct appeal of their platform by stating, "Surgeons choose MAX because we've built something different—by surgeons, for surgeons. Drs. Mogyoros and Murphy are leaders in their field, and their reputations reflect not just clinical excellence but deep community trust. We're proud to welcome them to MAX."

The Strategic Landscape of Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania stands as a significant market for MAX, buoyed by a robust referral network, consistent population growth, and a geographical advantage due to its proximity to elite educational institutions like the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Pittsburgh, and Temple University. This strategic positioning provides MAX with not only a strong local presence but also access to the next generation of surgical professionals.

Dr. Murphy remarked on the importance of finding a partner that recognized and valued the legacy he has built, while Dr. Mogyoros acknowledged MAX's depth of regional knowledge and its commitment to personalized support as key factors that influenced their decision to join.
