Avantage Health was founded with
a singular mission: to provide healthcare practice owners with
specialized advisory services that truly understand both the clinical
and financial aspects of their businesses. Unlike traditional M&A
advisors, our team brings a unique dual perspective that combines deep
healthcare industry knowledge with sophisticated financial expertise.
Our founders recognized a critical gap in the market – while many
advisors could handle the financial aspects of healthcare transactions,
few truly understood the nuances, challenges, and opportunities specific
to healthcare practices.
This insight led to the creation of Avantage Health, where we leverage
our founders' complementary backgrounds to deliver exceptional value to
healthcare professionals planning practice transitions, growth
strategies, or exits.
To empower healthcare practice owners with the strategic guidance, industry expertise, and transaction support needed to maximize the value of their life's work and achieve optimal outcomes in any business transition.
What sets Avantage Health apart is our distinctive combination of healthcare industry
expertise and financial acumen.
Our advisory team includes both a successful practicing physician who has personally navigated the
complexities of practice growth and exit, and a seasoned M&A professional with extensive
transaction experience across the healthcare sector.
This dual perspective allows us to:
What sets Avantage Health apart is our rare blend of deep healthcare experience and financial expertise.

Combined with deep industry and financial expertise, this perspective allows us to uncover potential where others see limitations.
