Dr. Overholt has also taught many of today’s GI practice leaders how to develop and manage their own GI-ASCs.
In this one-of-a-kind interview, Dr. Overholt walks us through his four-decade-long journey, reflects on the new technologies, private equity, and shares his views on alignment among physicians. And finally, he shares timely and relevant advice for gastroenterologists.
At a time when gastroenterology is at crossroads, Dr. Overholt says what needs to be said. Watch on. Don’t miss the story of how the country’s first GI ASC started.
