Prescott’s

What Prescott’s does

Prescott's Inc. is an independent service provider and refurbisher of surgical microscopes, founded in 1984 and headquartered in Monument, Colorado. The company operates an ISO 13485:2016-certified national service network—the only such credentialed provider in the U.S. surgical-microscope segment—and supports hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialty surgical practices across the United States and the United Kingdom. Its core technical capability centers on factory-trained electronic and optical technicians who perform preventative maintenance, repair, optical cleaning, and full refurbishment of microscopes manufactured by Zeiss, Leica, Alcon, Haag-Streit, and Prescott's own proprietary brand, restoring equipment to OEM specifications at a claimed 30-50% cost reduction versus OEM service programs.

The company monetizes across four primary streams: (1) new and refurbished microscope sales and rentals, (2) recurring annual service contracts with guaranteed 24-hour on-site response, (3) on-demand repair and refurbishment services, and (4) accessory and capture-system sales (Sony, Hitachi, MediCap, Panasonic). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by a U.S. and U.K. field service technician network, with presence at major medical conferences (ASCRS, AAO, ESCRS, BACO, Medica, EBME) and a content-marketing footprint via website, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Prescott's is owned by Morgan Stanley Capital Partners following a December 30, 2024 acquisition from Atlantic Street Capital, and has expanded through the 2022 acquisitions of Heartland Medical Sales & Service (anesthesia equipment service) and Preventive Maintenance Medical (PMM), extending its clinical vertical and recurring-service footprint.
