Perspectives From Healthcare Founders and Operators
Hear directly from healthcare founders, operators, and partners about their experience working with PGP across strategic transactions and growth initiatives.
Jonathan S. Weiss, MD
Georgia Dermatology Partners
Dermatology
PGP knew exactly what needed to be done, who to call, and how to structure the process — including shielding Dr. Weiss and his team from the uncomfortable dynamics of negotiating directly with potential partners. His advice: if you’re considering partnering with a PE-backed group, get a good consultant. He can’t recommend anyone more than PGP.
Behavioral Health
Beth Salcedo, MD
The Ross Center
Dr. Salcedo needed a partner who valued clinical care as much as revenue. Working with Ezra Simons, she found the right fit and felt fully protected through the process. Her advice: use a group like PGP — there's far more at stake than you realize, and you won't know what you're risking until it's too late.

Dermatology
Barry Galitzer, MD
Skin Center Dermatology
Dr. Barry Galitzer, MD of Skin Center Dermatology faced a question many practice owners eventually confront: with no family succession plan and growing concerns about locking in his practice’s value, where do you turn? In this conversation, Dr. Galitzer shares how working with his PGP advisor Ezra Simons helped him understand his options — from independent valuations to evaluating which company would be the right fit. His advice to physicians in any specialty: do your research, because the group you join becomes your employer.

Eye Care
Jeffrey Kissinger
Cleveland Eye Clinic
Jeffrey Kissinger came to PGP with a specific financial goal — and they hit it without hesitation, ultimately securing enterprise value twice what he'd achieved on his own. Beyond the numbers, PGP helped his partners find a group they could coexist with in a competitive market. His take: if you haven't sat down with PGP to find out what your practice is worth, you're doing yourself a real disservice.

Dr. Edward Seade
Orthopaedic Specialists of Austin
"PGP was able to fill the gap in expertise my partners and I had and ran a process that concluded in a truly terrific outcome with GrowthOrtho and Trivest."
"When we started evaluating whether private equity was right for us or not, I realized very quickly that I knew orthopedic surgery, but I did not know anything about the PE universe and running a transaction process. PGP was able to fill the gap in expertise my partners and I had and ran a process that concluded in a truly terrific outcome with GrowthOrtho and Trivest. They were instrumental in helping us navigate the entire process from start to close. We are extremely satisfied."
Client Perspective
Dr. Amy Forman Taub
Advanced Dermatology
"I would highly recommend them to any physician group considering this avenue"

PGP led us through the stages to completion in a truly professional manner and I would highly recommend them to any physician group considering this avenue for their next phase of growth."
