Overview
Gastroenterology practices and GI platforms provide endoscopy, hepatology, and digestive-disease management. It is among the hottest specialty roll-ups, driven by the lucrative ancillary economics of endoscopy and ambulatory surgery centers attached to GI practices.
PE-backed GI platforms (GI Alliance, US Digestive Health, Gastro Health) have consolidated rapidly, capturing endoscopy, pathology, and infusion ancillaries. Colorectal-cancer screening volumes and an aging population support durable demand.
Market snapshot
Within Offices of Physicians (NAICS 621111); the Census Bureau does not split physician offices by specialty, so gastroenterology is not separately sized.
