WHO WE ARE

Strategic Medical Brokers (SMB) is a physician-only exit advisory firm specializing in the valuation, marketing, and sale of independent medical practices. We serve physician-owners who are preparing to exit — guiding them through every stage of the transition with expertise built specifically for healthcare.
SMB was founded by Shaun F. Rudgear, MCBI, M&AMI, CEPA — a licensed real estate broker since 1991 and healthcare executive who co-founded, co-owned, and served as practice administrator for three medical practices. When those practices were sold, the brokerage firm hired sent a residential real estate agent with no healthcare transaction experience. Shaun built Strategic Medical Brokers to fill the gap he experienced firsthand.

OUR PROCESS

SMB engages every client through two proprietary methodologies: the Practice Exit Pathway™, which guides physicians through exit readiness from first conversation through closing; and the Transaction Navigator™, which manages the transaction process with precision and accountability throughout.
About

OUR NICHE

We do not serve general business owners. Our focus is singular: advising physician-owners on exit readiness, valuation, and legacy-preserving practice transitions. This specialization is not a marketing decision — it is where our expertise is genuinely deep.

WHAT SETS US APART

Three things differentiate SMB from the broader brokerage market. First, we are a physician-only advisory firm — every process, tool, and conversation is built for healthcare. Second, we lead with education. Before a physician commits to anything, we ensure they have the clarity to make an informed decision. Our guarantee: we guarantee physicians clarity about their exit options before committing to a sale. No other firm makes that commitment. Third, we facilitate legacy-preserving transitions — not just deals. Approximately 70% of the buyers we match with our clients are individual physicians who want to protect patient choice, retain staff, and sustain independent medicine. Fourth, and uniquely, SMB is physician-owned. Marta Sepulveda, MD — a retired physician with 31 years in healthcare and former CEO of Hospital General Medellín, Latin America’s top public hospital — is co-owner of the firm. This means clinical insight is embedded at the ownership level, not just in the advisory process.

OUR GUARANTEE
We guarantee physicians clarity about their exit options before they commit to a sale.

PHYSICIAN OWNERSHIP

Strategic Medical Brokers is physician-owned. Marta Sepulveda, MD, is co-owner of the firm. A retired physician with 31 years in healthcare, Dr. Sepulveda served as CEO of Hospital General Medellín — Latin America’s top public hospital. At SMB, she oversees lead qualification, works directly with prospective buyers on listing inventory, and authored the firm’s operational policies and procedures. She is fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. This means physician perspective is embedded at the ownership level — not as a consulting add-on, but as a foundational part of how the firm operates.
