"I cannot say enough about Andy Colbert and his team at Ziegler. We would never have achieved the remarkable results we obtained without his guidance, knowledge, and the team's work ethic. From our first meetings, Andy and his associates started to dive into our business, identifying our strengths and pointing us in a direction to maximize our business's value. We saw value from our first meetings. Helping us work through over a hundred NDAs, picking a core group to interview through the final LOI, and ultimately signing our new JV with Atlantic Health System, Andy and the team were there to guide us. When the dust started to clear, we had an amazing deal, a solid partner, and a rejuvenated feel for what will be achievable moving forward. Thanks, Andy, Drew, Jack, and David. You were our ace in the hole throughout," stated Dave Bollard, CEO of Premier Health Associates.
