I’ve worked with Jeff since the early 1990s when we initially co-invested in the reorganization of several acute care chains. Jeff was one of the few people that understood the changing reimbursement landscape and the inevitable consolidation to come. More importantly, his keen insight into evaluating the right senior management teams who could succeed in this period of change was paramount to our mutual success.

We partnered with Jeff to help us grow and sell our business. In just two years, sales went from $10 million to $24 million. He then represented us in the sale of the company. His input was critical to our success. It was great to work him.

I have known Jeff since the early 1990s. In 1997, when I left the Robinson-Humphrey Company to enter the venture capital world, Jeff moved into my former position as the Senior Health Care Analyst at the firm and we continued to work together. He is highly regarded by his peers for his knowledge of the healthcare industry and for being able to find creative solutions to complex financial and strategic issues. Working with Jeff is a great pleasure, and I look forward to working with him on many more transactions in the future.

I have always found Jeff to be thoughtful about what can be in healthcare and having performed the research essential to support his thesis. Jeff is a consummate professional and a trusted colleague who provides cogent and timely advice to his clients.

We believe Jeff is an extremely talented and knowledgeable healthcare executive with experience in all phases of the healthcare system. Jeff has the ability to work with large companies and also help smaller companies grow and be successful.

I have known Jeff for more than 15 years. During that time I was afforded the opportunity to work with Jeff in the formation of a start-up hospital company and was very impressed by Jeff’s honesty and work ethic. He was forthright with the principals and cautioned them about going forward with an under capitalized project. Since then I have worked with Jeff on variety of opportunities in the tech sector in healthcare and on his project to increase the number of primary care physicians available for rural America.

Jeff is a real asset to any company he advises.

As an institutional health care investor, Jeff has been my number one advisor for health care services equities since the early 90’s. Not only does he have outstanding contacts and insights into the health care marketplace, but he is also a person of very high character that can be trusted without question.
