Dr. Roshan Parikh helps healthcare investors and operators turn fragmented clinical businesses into scalable, trusted platforms. Twenty years inside the work. Clinician first, operator second, advisor now.
Operator behind DSO growth, Fortune 1 healthcare rollout, PE-backed turnarounds, and Series A GTM expansion.
Select outcomes across operating, advisory, and platform-building roles. Figures reflect period-of-responsibility results, not lifetime totals.
I started chairside as a dentist. I spent the next twenty years building what came next, operator second, advisor now. Single practice to thirty-five offices and a $50M+ exit. Walmart Health Dental from launch. Two turnarounds, a $25M PE round, and nine DSO partnerships signed inside eight months as the operator behind a Series A go-to-market.
That arc means I have lived both sides of the deal: the operatory floor and the IC room, hiring and firing, M&A integration nights and the LP-ready memo at 6 a.m. I understand chairside reality and boardroom strategy because I have been responsible for both, with the same balance sheet, in the same week.
When I tell a PE firm how to create value in a healthcare platform, I have done it with my own hands.
Most healthcare advisors
chose a lane.
I built both.
Capital sees the model. Operators see the friction. Clinicians see the patient reality. Dr. Ro sits at the intersection of all three, helping platforms translate ambition into systems that actually scale.
Built from a single dental practice to 35 offices, 100+ dentists, and $60M+ in annual revenue, culminating in a $50M+ exit. Executed PE recapitalization in 2015 as a platform investment.
Built the dental services division from launch. Scaled to 12 locations across 3 states, representing 70%+ of Walmart Health's aggregate topline revenue.
Turned around two underperforming healthcare platforms. Scaled dntl bar by 360% revenue growth, achieving an 88 NPS, and secured a $25M PE investment for VIVA Pediatric Healthcare.
Built the US go-to-market engine from zero. Signed 9 DSOs including Heartland Dental (800+ locations) in 8 months and delivered 58× pilot ROI.
A short list of who this work is for. If your name is on the IC memo, the operating plan, or the board vote, you're in the room this site is built for.
Each one starts in the operatory, ends in the boardroom, and is priced to the value created, not the hours spent.
Help investors evaluate whether a healthcare business can actually scale beyond the deck. The clinical and commercial reality behind the model.
Translate the investment thesis into operating systems, GTM, and execution. I stay embedded until the numbers move.
Bring a credible clinician-operator perspective to the rooms where healthcare strategy is being shaped. Boards, off-sites, keynotes.
One of the most prolific dental services operators of the last decade. Few people have lived the operating playbook end-to-end the way Roshan has.
Built Walmart Health Dental from launch, scaled to 12 locations and 70%+ of Walmart Health's topline revenue. A clinician who understands the unit economics.
The clearest articulation I've heard of how PE value-creation KPIs translate to the chair. Required reading for any operating partner with a healthcare portfolio.
PE-LP roundtables, DSO C-suite workshops, and operator off-sites. The conversations that don't happen on conference stages because the questions are too specific and the numbers are too real.
"Before the AI algorithm, build the dentist."
Deal flow, multiples, payer dynamics, and the operating moves that don't make the teaser deck. One email a week.
Advisory for dental and healthcare platforms navigating growth, GTM, acquisitions, provider alignment, and value creation. Engagements scoped to outcomes, priced to value, staffed by an operator who has done the work.
By private appointment.
Use the call to discuss a platform, an acquisition, a board mandate, a speaking request, or a value-creation challenge. No pitch deck on either side.
