When private banking becomes professional – Frontier Bank is there.

Since its founding in 1988, Mid-City OB-GYN had grown to become the area’s largest private obstetrics and gynecology practice. The firm built an office building in 2000 to house the practice. When one of the practice’s partners made the decision to retire, they reached out to their current bank to refinance the building and lease it back to the practice and its remaining partners.

They needed to move quickly – something that bank was not equipped to do. Not only did the bank’s internal loan committee meet only a few times a year, it also requested a new building appraisal along with other requirements that would further delay the process. For years, Siemers had been friends with Brian Leiferman, who had just moved to Frontier Bank as executive vice president of private banking, after a decades long career with other banking institutions.

“When I initially approached him, he asked a lot of questions. And when I said it would take a pretty sweet deal to get my partner to move forward, I couldn’t believe how quickly they were able to present a proposal that everyone could agree to,” Siemers said.

“We knew this was a really good match for us right away with the combination of private banking and practice financing,” Leiferman said. “We understand that physician schedules are super busy. They want to know what can you do for us? How can you make it easy? And how can you save us money? We were able to come back and say, Here’s what we can do and what we need from you.”

From this initial experience, Siemers has also strengthened his relationship with the private banking team at Frontier Bank, including refinancing his own home, and has also watched as his children become first-time home buyers through the bank.

“They are totally different from other banks,” Siemers said. “They’re good to have.”

From real estate and construction lending to medical practice and physician banking and more, Frontier Bank’s relationship-based approach ensures you have what you need from your banker – when you need it. So, you’re able to stay focused on providing patient care and growing your practice. Frontier Bank’s relationship with Omaha OB-GYN, Kent Siemers, M.D. is just one example.
