Étalon Healthcare Valuations - Most valuation firms understand the numbers. We understand the practice.
You've spent years building something that matters — to your patients, your staff, your community, your family, and yourself.
What you've built deserves to be understood, not just counted. Étalon Healthcare brings both: the firsthand experience of a physician who has built and transitioned a specialty practice, and the analytical training — CVA methodology, financial analysis, regulatory fluency — that produces a conclusion you can stand behind.
Étalon Healthcare serves physicians, medical groups, and their advisors across the United States. Most engagement work — document review, financial analysis, interviews, and reporting — is conducted remotely. On-site visits are scheduled when the scope of the engagement calls for it, from routine site verification to more involved on-the-ground due diligence.
What sets us apart?
Most valuation firms apply standard methodology to whatever numbers are in front of them. Étalon Healthcare reads those numbers the way a physician reads a chart — looking for what they're telling you and what they're leaving out.
Étalon Healthcare Valuations combines firsthand physician ownership experience with disciplined valuation methodology (NACVA-aligned), producing analyses grounded in both operational reality and financial precision.
