Total Access Urgent Care
Dr. Matt Bruckel launched Total Access Urgent Care in Chesterfield, Missouri, in 2008 as an emergency-medicine physician dissatisfied with hospital throughput. The company grew to over 25 locations across the St. Louis metropolitan area by the early 2020s, generating substantial free cash flow from high-volume, low-acuity visits. Bruckel's family office structure is inseparable from the operating company; the wealth originates entirely from the clinic network's retained earnings and real estate holdings associated with its sites. Investment posture is concentrated in the firm's own expansion. Total Access Urgent Care acquires and develops commercial real estate for new clinics, typically in high-visibility suburban corners, and self-funds construction without outside private equity. The balance sheet also carries direct stakes in ancillary healthcare services, including a telemedicine platform and an on-site dispensary model that reduces pharmacy leakage. No third-party LP capital is accepted; deployment is entirely organic and debt-averse. The firm employs over 800 people across its Missouri and Illinois locations, with a central support office in Chesterfield. Bruckel maintains sole ownership and has not sold any equity stake. Related entities include the Total Access Urgent Care Foundation, which donates to local emergency-services and youth-health initiatives, and a real estate holding company that owns the clinic properties. In April 2024, the firm opened a new flagship clinic in O'Fallon, Missouri, continuing a pattern of one-to-two new openings per year. What distinguishes Total Access Urgent Care's capital structure is its refusal of private equity funding in a sector dominated by PE-backed roll-ups. Bruckel's model treats each clinic as a cash-flowing real estate asset paired with a clinical operation, holding both on a single, family-owned balance sheet. This eliminates the forced-exit timeline that shapes most urgent-care chains and allows site selection based on 15-year demographic curves rather than three-year IRR targets.

Frequently asked questions
Who controls investment decisions at Total Access Urgent Care?
Dr. Matt Bruckel, as sole owner and CEO, retains full authority over capital allocation. There is no investment committee or outside board. Deployment decisions — site acquisition, new clinic construction, and ancillary service investments — flow through the operating company's C-suite and are ultimately approved by Bruckel.
How is the family office linked to the operating company?
They are the same entity. Total Access Urgent Care is both the healthcare provider and Bruckel's family investment vehicle. Profits are reinvested into the company's growth or held on the balance sheet; there is no separate management company or family office entity. The real estate arm that owns clinic properties is the primary asset-holding vehicle outside the operating P&L.
Does Total Access Urgent Care accept outside investment?
No. Dr. Bruckel has consistently declined private equity investment since founding. The company has never raised institutional capital, permitting a permanent-hold strategy that does not optimize for a liquidity event. New clinics are self-funded from existing free cash flow.
Which asset classes does the portfolio span?
The portfolio centers on healthcare-operating cash flows and the commercial real estate underneath the clinics. It also includes a telemedicine platform and an on-site pharmacy dispensary model. There is no known allocation to public equities, venture funds, or traditional alternatives — the capital stays within the healthcare sector.
How does the firm think about geographic expansion?
Total Access Urgent Care expands methodically within a one- to two-hour radius of its Chesterfield headquarters — currently the St. Louis metro area and adjacent Illinois counties. Site selection favors suburban corners with 15-year demographic tailwinds and limited existing urgent-care density. The firm opens one to two clinics per year with no franchise model.
