BackTable Urology · Ep. 315 Private Equity's Impact on Urology Practices with Dr. Benjamin Lowentritt · 10 Jul 2026 podcast

So it was a kind of a natural evolution of me understanding how to build a program that kind of evolved into getting some more insights into the business side of our practice and

And then after we started to grow outside of Maryland, I was asked to join the management team of United Urology.

And I'm now a senior vice president of practice development with United Urology.

So I still see patients clinically, but I split my time between the administrative work with the management company and my clinical work.

No, and listen, although I'm here today speaking completely just on my own behalf, right?

I'm not representing anyone here today.

I also do serve as the secretary of LUGPA.

And I think that gives a good perspective on that because you're absolutely right.

To look at this question that we're discussing today regarding corporate partnerships, et cetera, and not put it into the context of the larger kind of consolidations that were happening

prior to all of this is really, you know, would be, it's really important for context, right?

So I do think, I mean, the whole nature of the Large Urology Group Practice Association, it's right there in the name, right, is that there were these large urology groups that were coming together for a variety of different reasons.

And scale was important for very different reasons, right?

In some places, scale was important to allow practices to

be able to negotiate with payers that may otherwise have been playing them all against each other, or to stay independent of hospital associations, or to share a call, or maybe to come together to help build an ancillary service that otherwise would have been impractical for a smaller group to put together.

So there are a whole lot of different reasons that were leading to consolidation prior to

to when our practice, which was the first to partner with a private equity company, well before that happened.

And in fact, Chesapeake Urology was the bringing together of three different groups that happened right as I was joining the practice in 2006.

So I think it's important to keep that historical perspective on what was going on and understand the market dynamics that were going on.

And I do think that has happened across health care.

Now, listen, I mean, it's not just what was happening in our independent urology practices, right?
