Client Perspective
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"
"My experience with Physician Growth Partners was excellent. They led me through the process of finding a partner that would respect our mission yet valued our practice reasonably. This transition is complex legally and financially. 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."
