SurgNet Health Partners

SurgNet Health Partners, led by Co-Founder, President and CEO John Brock, operates from Brentwood, Tennessee as a specialized partnership platform for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). The firm's founding premise is to align with physicians through equity syndications and management contracts, allowing surgeons to retain ownership while SurgNet assumes operational, development, and revenue cycle responsibilities. The website features endorsements from physician partners Samer Suleiman of Executive Ambulatory Surgery Center and Leonard Berenholz, M.D., F.A.C.S of Lippy Surgery Center. The firm's strategy spans the full lifecycle of an ASC. Its de novo development arm handles site selection, accreditation, and construction for new centers. For existing facilities, SurgNet provides direct oversight of daily operations — from staffing models to supply chain — alongside a dedicated revenue cycle management service that handles billing and collections. The partnership model centers on physician investor syndications, where surgeons acquire equity in the centers they operate. This approach blends a healthcare services operating company with a real estate and syndication structure, covering development, management, and financial optimization under one roof. Team size and total deployment figures remain undisclosed. The firm's Brentwood headquarters places it in the Nashville-area healthcare hub, a dense market for ASC operators and health systems. No adjacent investment vehicles, philanthropic foundations, or club memberships are publicly disclosed. The absence of named institutional co-investors or fund structures suggests SurgNet functions as a direct operator and partner rather than a pooled fund manager. No dated operational event from the last 24 months is verifiable from public sources. SurgNet's structural differentiator is its physician syndication model. Unlike hospital-owned surgery networks or private equity-backed ASC roll-ups that consolidate ownership, SurgNet partners with individual physician groups and syndicates equity directly to the surgeons using the facilities. This creates a distributed ownership architecture where operators are also owners, aligning incentives around clinical quality and center-level economics rather than centralized exit timelines.
