Bladder & Bowel Institute Acquires ASC in Texas

APRIL 24, 2025

Bladder & Bowel Institute (BBI), has acquired an ASC in The Woodlands, Texas, marking its official expansion into the greater Houston market, according to a release. The expansion marks a significant step in improving access to care for underserved patients suffering from bladder and bowel conditions, many of whom go undiagnosed or untreated for years. The new facility, located in just north of Houston, is a 7,000-square-foot, state-licensed ASC with two operating rooms and one procedure room. The center is designed to support the growing demand for specialized bladder and bowel care across one of the largest and fastest-growing healthcare markets in the US.

“This expansion reflects our commitment to bringing specialized care to patients who have historically been underserved,” said Jared Greer, chief executive officer, in the release. “Houston is a key market for us, and this allows us to extend a proven care model to a broader patient population.”

BBI is recognized for its expertise in sacral nerve stimulation, including InterStim Therapy, a minimally invasive treatment for bladder and bowel control conditions. The organization has performed more than 10,000 sacral nerve stimulation procedures and continues to expand access through its growing network of specialized centers, according to the release.

“This is about more than entering a new market,” said Medical Director, Chris Taylor, MD, in the release. “It is about delivering a consistent, high-quality treatment pathway to patients who need it, and building a program that drives strong outcomes from the start.”

Over the coming months, BBI will pursue accreditation from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care and work toward Medicare deemed status, according to the release. The organization plans to begin the accreditation process in May with full operational launch targeted for August.

With existing locations in Dallas and Arkansas, BBI’s expansion into Houston extends its reach to a combined population of approximately 30 million people.
