U.S. Urology’s network now encompasses over 150 providers operating throughout over 40 clinical locations in four states. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
UOI is a market-leading, multi-specialty urology practice serving Indianapolis, IN and the surrounding regions.

The affiliation marks U.S. Urology’s fifth since partnering with NMS and expands the broader platform’s geographic footprint into a fourth state. Following completion of the transaction, U.S. Urology represents one of the nation’s largest independent providers of urological care and other specialty services.
Dr. Ronald Suh, UOI President, noted, “We are excited to be a part of the U.S. Urology platform and to join in the shared vision of creating the nation’s leading urological network. Our choice in selecting U.S. Urology as our long-term partner was a function of the platform’s expertise and track record in fostering success and alignment amongst their partner practices. We look forward to leveraging all that U.S. Urology has to offer as we continue upon our growth trajectory and life cycle as a practice.”

This partnership is the result of our execution upon a selective M&A strategy centered upon bringing together premier urology services providers and creating a platform characterized by growth and best-in-class patient outcomes. UOI meets these criteria perfectly and heightens our excitement and confidence in the trajectory of the broader U.S. Urology platform.”

We are excited about the many resources available to us through U.S. Urology to enhance services and access to the highest level of urological care throughout Indiana and the Midwest. Our partnership with U.S. Urology will allow us to do more than we could on our own, benefitting our patients and practice.”
