Answers to the questions that matter most

ZMD Group is a physician-led, patient-centered healthcare platform that connects four pillars of care under one trusted family of brands: Physician Services, Wellness & Regenerative Medicine, Aesthetic Medicine, and Clinical Research. We are the parent organization — operating as Family MSO Holdings LLC — that provides the infrastructure, operational support, and shared mission that allows each of our brands to thrive.

We were founded in California, where our founding physicians built premium clinical brands rooted in evidence and excellence. Today, we are expanding that model nationally — bringing integrated, physician-led care to every major metropolitan area in the United States. Our purpose is simple: healthcare works best when physicians are owners, not employees, and when patients can access world-class specialty care across their full health journey from one trusted network.

Our family of brands spans four pillars of integrated care:

• ZMD Physicians Group — our physician services platform, bringing together ENT, dermatology, and specialty physicians under a shared clinical excellence framework.
• ZMD Wellness — our wellness and regenerative medicine practice, focused on longevity, hormone optimization, and evidence-based regenerative therapies.
• ZMD Med Spas — our aesthetic medicine network, led by master clinicians who believe aesthetic medicine should be clinically rigorous.
• ZMD Research Group — our clinical research arm, conducting clinical trials, developing intellectual property, and publishing peer-reviewed research. This includes our affiliated 501(c)(3) research foundation, the ZMD Regenerative Medicine Foundation.

Our founding brands — Dr. Hootan Zandifar, our founding physician, Regen Therapy MD, and SkinTight Aesthetics — anchor the platform and represent the clinical heritage from which everything else has grown.

ZMD Group currently operates in California, with flagship locations in Beverly Hills and Brentwood — where our founding physicians built the clinical brands that anchor our platform. Our Beverly Hills headquarters at 8920 Wilshire Blvd is the operational center of the group.

We have also established our East Coast presence in Boston, which serves as our East Coast flagship. Boston represents our commitment to bringing integrated, physician-led care to communities beyond our California roots — and signals the national ambition of what we are building.

Our next chapter is bringing integrated care to every major metro in America. We are actively entering or planning entry into the following markets:

• Newport Beach and San Francisco (California expansion)
• Dallas, Houston, and Austin (Texas)
• Miami and Tampa (Florida)
• Hoboken and New York (Northeast)
• Scottsdale and Phoenix (Arizona)
• San Diego (Southern California)

Our expansion is guided by a simple question: where are the communities that would benefit most from an integrated, physician-led model of care? We enter markets thoughtfully, partnering with local physicians and practice owners who share our values — not simply to grow, but to serve.

ZMD Group was co-founded by Marques, Dr. Hootan Zandifar, our founding physician, Tanya, and Leigh — a team of physicians and operators with deep clinical experience across every pillar of the platform.

Dr. Zandifar built a premier ENT and cosmetic practice in Beverly Hills that serves as the clinical foundation of the group. His commitment to evidence-based care and clinical excellence established the standard that every brand in our family strives to meet. Together, the founding team brought complementary expertise — clinical, operational, financial, and strategic — to build a platform that is genuinely different from anything else in healthcare today.

Our mission is to advance physician-led, patient-centered care by building an integrated family of brands that serves patients across their full health journey — from specialty medicine to wellness, aesthetics, and research — in every community we enter.

We exist because we believe the healthcare system works best when physicians are owners, not employees. When physicians have ownership and autonomy, they make better decisions for patients. When patients can access connected care across multiple specialties from one trusted network, their outcomes improve. Everything we build is in service of that belief.

Most healthcare platforms are built by operators and investors who then recruit physicians. ZMD Group was built by physicians and operators together — from the first day. Our founding team includes practicing physicians with deep clinical experience in every pillar we operate. That difference shapes every decision we make.

We are also genuinely integrated — not a collection of disconnected practices operating under one holding company. Our four pillars are designed to work together: a patient who comes to us for specialty care can access wellness services, aesthetic medicine, and benefit from our research innovations through the same trusted network. That integration is what we mean when we say we serve patients across their full health journey.

Finally, we are mission-driven in a way that shapes our culture. We speak in terms of patients served and communities reached — not revenue multiples or exit strategies. That is not just brand positioning; it is how our founders think and how we make decisions every day.

Physician partnership at ZMD Group is built around a simple conviction: physicians should be owners, not employees. When you join our platform, you participate in equity at the brand level — meaning you have a genuine ownership stake in the clinical enterprise you are helping to build, not just a salary with a title.

Beyond equity, partnership means freedom from the administrative burden that consumes so much of a physician's time and energy. Our platform handles finance and accounting, compliance, marketing, technology, HR, and operations — so you can focus on what you trained for: patient care. You also gain access to our peer community of physician-owners across the network, our research infrastructure, and career development opportunities that are simply not available in traditional practice settings.

We partner with physicians across our four pillars of care: specialty physicians (ENT, dermatology, and adjacent specialties) through our physician services platform; regenerative medicine and longevity-focused physicians through our wellness and regenerative medicine practice; aesthetic medicine clinicians through our aesthetic medicine network; and physician-scientists and clinical researchers through our clinical research arm.

The common thread is not specialty — it is values. We look for physicians who are deeply committed to evidence-based care, who want to be part of something larger than a single practice, and who believe that physician ownership matters for patient outcomes. If you are a physician who wants to build, not just practice, we want to talk.

Equity participation is structured at the brand level — meaning physician-owners hold equity in the specific brand or brands they are part of, not just in the parent holding company. This structure ensures that your ownership is directly tied to the clinical enterprise you are building and the patients you are serving.

The specific terms of equity participation are customized based on your role, your contribution, and the stage of the brand you are joining. We discuss these terms openly and transparently during the partnership conversation — there are no hidden structures or surprises. For detailed information about equity participation, we encourage you to reach out to our physician recruiting team directly through our contact page.

Onboarding begins with an introductory conversation — typically with a member of our leadership team — to understand your background, your goals, and whether there is a genuine fit. From there, we move to a more detailed discussion about the specific brand or opportunity, followed by a formal partnership proposal.

Once terms are agreed, our onboarding team works with you on credentialing, technology setup, team introductions, and clinical integration. We aim to make the transition as smooth as possible, and we assign a dedicated onboarding partner to every new physician who joins. Most physicians are fully integrated and seeing patients within 60 to 90 days of signing their partnership agreement.

Clinical autonomy is not just a talking point for us — it is a structural commitment. Our platform is built on the principle that physicians make clinical decisions, and operators support those decisions. We do not have administrators overriding clinical judgment, and we do not have productivity quotas that compromise care quality.

Every physician-owner retains full authority over their clinical protocols, treatment decisions, and patient relationships. Our role is to handle everything that is not clinical — so that you can focus entirely on what is. This is what we mean when we say we exist to serve the people who serve patients.

One of the most distinctive aspects of the ZMD Group platform is that every clinic is connected to our research infrastructure through our clinical research arm. This means physician-owners have access to clinical trial participation, IP development opportunities, and the chance to contribute to peer-reviewed research — without having to build a research program from scratch.

Our affiliated 501(c)(3), our affiliated 501(c)(3) research foundation, the ZMD Regenerative Medicine Foundation, provides additional support for research initiatives with a community benefit focus. For physicians who want to advance the science of their specialty while continuing to practice, our platform offers a path that very few other organizations can provide.

The process begins with a confidential conversation — no pressure, no obligation. You reach out to our corporate development team through our contact page, and we schedule an introductory call to understand your practice, your goals, and what you are looking for in a partner.

From there, if there is a potential fit, we move to a more detailed discovery phase where we learn about your clinical model, your team, your patient base, and your community. We share more about our platform, our values, and what partnership with ZMD Group looks like in practice. Only after both sides feel confident in the fit do we move toward a formal proposal.

This is one of the most important questions we address early in every partnership conversation, because the answer matters deeply to practice owners who have built a brand over years or decades. The short answer is: it depends on what you want, and we approach each situation individually.

Some practice owners want to retain their brand identity entirely — and in those cases, we support that. Others want to transition to one of our ZMD family brands over time. In all cases, we commit to preserving what makes your practice valuable: your clinical reputation, your patient relationships, your team culture, and your community standing. What changes is the administrative and operational burden — which we take on so you can focus on care.

We offer three primary partnership pathways, and we are open to structures that do not fit neatly into any of them:

• Full partnership (selling and joining) — You sell your practice to the ZMD Group platform and join as a physician-owner with equity participation. You continue to practice; we handle operations.
• Affiliation (joining without selling) — Your practice affiliates with the ZMD Group network, gaining access to our platform capabilities while retaining independent ownership. This pathway suits practice owners who are not ready to sell but want the benefits of the network.
• Co-development — We build something new together, combining your clinical expertise and market presence with our platform and capital. This pathway is most common in new markets where we are entering alongside a local physician partner.

Transition timelines vary based on the complexity of the practice, the partnership structure, and the degree of operational integration involved. For a straightforward full-partnership transaction, the process from initial conversation to close typically takes three to six months. For affiliation agreements, it can be faster.

We do not rush transitions. Our goal is to ensure that your team, your patients, and your community experience the change as a positive evolution — not a disruption. We assign a dedicated transition support team to every practice that joins, and we remain actively engaged through the first full year of partnership.

Post-close support is where we believe we are genuinely different from other platforms. We do not close a transaction and then disappear. Our platform capabilities — technology, marketing, compliance, operations, finance, clinical excellence support, talent development — are all available to you from day one of partnership.

You also gain access to our peer community of physician-owners across the network, which many partners describe as one of the most valuable aspects of joining. The ability to connect with other physician-owners who have navigated similar challenges, share clinical insights, and collaborate on research is something that simply does not exist in independent practice.

Each brand within the ZMD Group family operates with its own identity, clinical team, and patient relationships. When you visit Dr. Hootan Zandifar, our founding physician, or Regen Therapy MD, or SkinTight Aesthetics, you are in the care of that brand's specific clinical team — with their own protocols, their own patient experience, and their own relationship with you.

What connects them is a shared philosophy: evidence-based care, clinical excellence, and a commitment to serving you across your full health journey. The integration happens at the level of values and clinical standards — not at the level of your personal health information, which is protected under HIPAA and managed separately by each brand.

No. Each brand maintains its own patient records and relationships, in full compliance with HIPAA. Being a patient at one brand does not automatically enroll you at another, and your health information is not shared across brands without your explicit consent.

However, if you are interested in accessing care at another brand within our family, your existing relationship with one of our brands can make that introduction easier. Many patients find that having a trusted point of entry into the network — a physician they already know and trust — makes it more comfortable to explore other services within the family. We encourage that kind of connected care, always with your informed consent and on your terms.

Each brand within our family has its own website with detailed information about the services and treatments they offer. We encourage you to visit the brand that is most relevant to your needs:

• Dr. Hootan Zandifar MD — ENT, facial plastic surgery, and cosmetic medicine in Beverly Hills
• Regen Therapy MD — Regenerative medicine, longevity, and hormone optimization
• SkinTight Aesthetics — Aesthetic medicine led by master clinicians
• ZMD Physicians Group — Specialty physician services
• ZMD Wellness — Wellness and regenerative medicine
• ZMD Med Spas — Aesthetic medicine network

This site — zmdgroup.com — is a corporate platform site, not a patient-facing treatment site. For clinical information, please visit the individual brand sites above.

Our current clinical locations are in Beverly Hills and Brentwood, California, and Boston, Massachusetts. We are actively expanding into additional markets — including Dallas, Houston, Austin, Miami, Tampa, Hoboken, Scottsdale, New York, and Phoenix.

To find the clinic nearest to you, visit the individual brand websites listed above, each of which includes location information and contact details. You can also reach our team directly at (310) 464-2257 or admin@zandifarmd.com, and we will help direct you to the right brand and location for your needs.

Yes. Our clinical research arm, ZMD Research Group, conducts clinical trials, develops intellectual property, and publishes peer-reviewed research across our areas of clinical focus. Our affiliated nonprofit, our affiliated 501(c)(3) research foundation, the ZMD Regenerative Medicine Foundation, supports research with a community benefit focus.

For patients, our research involvement means that the care you receive is grounded in the most current evidence — and that our physicians are actively contributing to advancing the science of their specialties, not just practicing it. Participation in clinical trials is always voluntary, always informed, and always governed by strict ethical and regulatory standards. No patient is enrolled in research without their full, written informed consent.
