ZMD Group is a physician-led, multi-specialty integrated healthcare platform. Clinically led by surgeons, financially disciplined by institutional banking — built for the next generation of integrated medicine.
Beverly Hills · Boston
ZMD Group was founded and is led by a practicing, double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Every clinical decision, every brand we build, every practice we acquire is filtered through the question only a working physician can ask: will this make care better, or only cheaper?
We do not bolt specialties together for billing convenience. ZMD Group connects aesthetic medicine, ENT, wellness and longevity, regenerative medicine, and clinical research through shared standards, shared data, and shared physician governance.
Most multi-specialty groups treat research as a marketing line. ZMD Group operates an integrated clinical research division so that protocols, evidence, and innovations our patients benefit from are generated inside the platform — not licensed in from elsewhere.
ZMD Group's family of brands operates across the full continuum of luxury healthcare — from aesthetic medicine and specialty care to wellness, longevity, and clinical research. Each brand is led by physicians, supported by the platform's institutional infrastructure, and held to the same standard of clinical excellence.
A luxury aesthetic medicine division offering surgical and non-surgical facial procedures, advanced injectables, and skin-health programs across our flagship Beverly Hills and Santa Monica locations.
Comprehensive otolaryngology, facial plastic surgery, and head & neck specialty care, anchored by our founder's double-board-certified surgical practice and growing through targeted regional acquisitions.
A wellness and longevity division focused on human optimization, regenerative medicine, recovery, and personalized preventive care for high-performance individuals and families.
The integrated research arm that makes ZMD Group different — running protocols, IRB-overseen trials, and outcomes research that feed evidence directly back into the clinical brands.
ZMD Group is led by Dr. Hootan Zandifar, MD — a double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist with two decades of operating-room and practice-building experience — and Marques Kernan, MBA, a former JPMorgan Chase commercial and investment banking professional with four years of healthcare-services and innovation-economy banking.
The pairing is deliberate. Clinical authority sets the bar for what gets built. Institutional capital discipline determines how fast and how responsibly it scales.

ZMD Group's headquarters is in the Beverly Hills medical corridor — the highest-density concentration of physician-owned specialty practices in the United States, and the natural starting point for a physician-led platform.
Our second region of focus is Boston, where the country's deepest research-hospital ecosystem provides the right gravity for our clinical research division.
From these two anchors, the platform is designed to expand into other physician-rich major metros through targeted practice partnership and acquisition.
"We are not building the cheapest version of healthcare. We are building the version physicians actually want to work inside, and patients actually want to be inside."
For physicians considering equity participation, joining a brand, or bringing their practice into the platform.
For practice owners exploring sale, partnership, or platform partnership with optional rollover equity.
For press inquiries, patient routing questions, and all other communication with the platform.
