Pediatrix paid cash for the practice, which is expected to contribute immediately to earnings per share. The practice was founded in 2002 by Raul Aguirre, who has more than 12 years experience practicing pediatric cardiology in South Florida. The practice also has a thriving referral base from obstetricians and maternal-fetal medicine specialists for fetal echocardiography services.
Mr Aguirre, said: “The more we know about congenital heart defects, the greater the need for fetal echocardiography services. As part of Pediatrix, I believe we have an excellent opportunity to build a recognized program for patients in our communities.”
