Since 1940, Lurie Besikof Lapidus & Company, LLP has guided physicians and clinics through rapid and ongoing change in the volatile and complex health care arena. Our extensive knowledge and expertise are the two constants you can rely upon.

The professionals in our Medical Services Group are health care specialists.

In addition, the group is dedicated to staying abreast of anticipated changes in the health care field and is well positioned to help our health care clients plan for and navigate the future.

Relationships with clients are extremely important to us. Using a team-based approach, our medical services group works in tandem with clinic staff to responsively and aggressively seek out opportunities to strengthen the financial position and practice management of physician groups.
