Transaction highlights continued investor appetite for scaled, high quality, independent physician groups
BOSTON, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Physician Growth Partners (“PGP”), a leading healthcare investment banking & M&A advisory firm, today announced it served as exclusive financial advisor to Golden Gate Urology (“Golden Gate”) in its partnership with Unio Specialty Care (“Unio”), a portfolio company of Triton Pacific Capital Partners. The transaction marks PGP’s 10th completed urology engagement, further reinforcing the firm’s longstanding expertise and position as a leading advisor to independent urology groups pursuing strategic partnerships, recapitalizations, and liquidity events.
The transaction confirms the continued interest among private equity firms and strategic buyers in high-quality urology practices, including those operating in highly regulated states such as California.
Dr. Daniel Oberlin, Urologist and Partner at Golden Gate, commented on working with Physician Growth Partners throughout the transaction process: “Robert and the PGP team brought a rare combination of deep industry knowledge, strategic judgment, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to our physicians and our long-term goals. They understood the nuances of our practice, created a highly competitive process, and guided us through every stage of a complex transaction with confidence and professionalism. PGP was an indispensable partner in helping us identify the right organization, negotiate an outstanding outcome, and successfully reach the finish line. I would recommend Robert and the PGP team without hesitation to any physician group considering strategic partnership options.”
“Over the past decade, we’ve had the privilege of advising some of the country’s leading independent urology groups,” said Robert Aprill, Partner at PGP. “Urology continues to benefit from favorable demographic trends, increasing demand for ancillary services, and a growing need for scale. Golden Gate Urology exemplifies the type of physician-led organization that continues to attract significant interest from strategic and financial partners.”
Aprill added, “This transaction is also an important reminder that exceptional physician groups can achieve outstanding outcomes regardless of geography. California remains one of the nation’s largest and most attractive healthcare markets. While the regulatory environment can make transactions more complex, sophisticated investors continue to seek market-leading practices with strong clinical reputations and growth potential.”
