Provident Healthcare Partners Advises Parkview Dental Partners on its Partnership with Cathay Capital

BOSTON and NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Provident Healthcare Partners ("Provident"), a leading healthcare investment banking firm, announced it has advised Parkview Dental Partners ("Parkview"), a portfolio company of Parkstone Growth Partners, on its partnership with Cathay Capital ("Cathay"). Parkview is a DSO that currently manages 22 dental practices throughout Southwest Florida that provide both general dentistry and specialty dental services. This investment is the inaugural North American investment from Cathay's Growth Private Equity Fund (Small Cap IV), which announced a final close in June 2023.

Provident's deal team was led by Managing Director Michael Patton, Director AJ Shekar, and Vice President Chris Schlesinger. Hill Ward Henderson served as legal counsel to Parkview and Haynes Boone served as legal counsel to Cathay Capital.

Lou Marinaccio, Managing Partner of Parkstone Growth Partners, commented, "It was a pleasure working with the Provident team and we are thrilled with Parkview's new partnership with Cathay. Provident ran an efficient process that provided the Company with multiple high-quality partnership options, and ultimately helped us identify and close with an investor who is well-positioned to support Parkview's next chapter of growth. The Provident team understood our goals and worked diligently to achieve a great outcome at every step of the process."

Mark Woods, Partner and Head of North American Private Equity at Cathay Capital, said "We are excited to partner with Parkview Dental Partners as it is uniquely positioned in the DSO market. It was a pleasure working with the Provident team on this transaction."

Ricky Roman, Director at Cathay Capital, added, "The Cathay team looks forward to leveraging our healthcare services and buy-and-build experience to accelerate the growth of Parkview as the Company seeks to expand on its market-leading position in Southwest Florida. We think highly of the Provident team and enjoyed working with them on this partnership-oriented deal."

"Will Schlotthauer, Dr. Ken Liszewski, and the Parkstone team have built a premier DSO platform that has resonated with patients and providers in southwest Florida. Parkview is well positioned for rapid growth with the tools and financial backing Cathay brings to the partnership," commented Patton.
