With that in mind, we chose AHP due to their deep healthcare experience combined with their impressive track record in scaling physician practice platforms in a quality manner," added Dr. Dwayne Schmidt, co-founder of CHC.

"Drs. Melton and Schmidt have built the leading independent cardiovascular practice in Oklahoma," said Matt Jameson, Managing Director at AHP. "We believe that their commitment to clinical excellence, physician autonomy and a customized patient experience will serve as the bedrock for CHP's continued growth."
