Surgical Management Professionals

Surgical Management Professionals (SMP) is a Sioux Falls, South Dakota firm with more than 30 years of experience helping physicians, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialty hospitals run better, collect more, and grow with confidence. As a 100% physician-owned organization, every member of SMP's executive team has direct, hands-on experience working inside ambulatory surgery centers, which makes their guidance practical rather than theoretical. SMP's services cover the full lifecycle of a surgical facility. On the development side, the team guides new ASC projects from feasibility studies and market assessments through facility design, staffing plans, and launch, providing end-to-end support so that opening day is not a scramble. For operating centers, SMP's management services handle day-to-day operations, compliance, accreditation, and vendor relationships, giving clinical staff the space to focus on patient care. The revenue cycle management practice covers medical coding, claims submission, denial management, payer performance analysis, and financial reporting, treating collections as a system rather than an afterthought. SMP's clients are single-specialty and multi-specialty ambulatory surgery centers, specialty surgical hospitals, and physician groups developing new surgical facilities. The firm is a strong fit for physician-owned centers where founders want to retain control but need reliable back-office outsourcing support to manage the business side of healthcare without building a full internal team. What sets SMP apart from large corporate management companies is its ownership philosophy. When invited to become an equity partner in mature centers, SMP structures deals so that the majority of ownership stays with local physicians. The firm brings operational expertise alongside capital, acting as a genuine partner rather than a corporate parent. That approach traces back to SMP's roots at the Sioux Falls Surgical Center, the first multi-specialty ASC in South Dakota, and has defined the organization since it became an independent, physician-led entity in 2005. For surgical facilities or physician groups evaluating a healthcare BPO or outsourcing partner for revenue cycle management, facility management, or new development, SMP offers a direct, experienced team with a track record spanning three decades.
