Your location decides more about your practice’s future than almost anything else —
patient volume, visibility, parking, competing practices nearby, and whether the space can even
be legally built out for what you’re planning to do. I work with healthcare startups from our
first conversation through move-in.
My Approach
California DRE License
I evaluate target submarkets against patient demographics,
competing practices, and visibility.
Site Selection & Touring
I identify and tour space, vetting whether a shell can realistically
support your build-out — a dental suite and a med-spa have very different plumbing, electrical,
and ventilation needs.
Lease Negotiation & TI Allowances
I negotiate the terms that matter most to a new practice
— tenant improvement allowances, free rent periods, and personal guaranty limits.
Free Representation
My services cost you nothing in most lease transactions. Fees are paid by
the landlord.
Who this is for
First-time practice owners, associates going out on their own, and healthcare
groups entering the San Francisco Bay Area market for the first time — medical, dental,
veterinary, and optometry practices, and group practices.
Lease renewals are a critical inflection point for healthcare practices. While often treated
as routine, renewal negotiations can materially impact your long-term occupancy costs,
operational flexibility, and practice profitability. I specialize in representing healthcare tenants
during lease renewals — medical, dental, veterinary, and optometry practices, and group
practices — advising on timing, evaluating market alternatives, and negotiating terms that
support long-term growth and uninterrupted patient care.
My Approach
Start Early, Negotiate from Strength
I begin renewal discussions 9–12 months early to
increase leverage, expand options, and secure better terms.
Market-Driven Lease Analysis
I review rent, escalations, operating expenses, and renewal
terms, benchmarked against current medical office market rates across Silicon Valley and the
San Francisco Bay Area.
Strategic Rent, Term & Concession Negotiation
I negotiate competitive rent, flexible terms,
and meaningful concessions that reduce your long-term costs.
Free Representation
My services cost you nothing in most lease transactions. Fees are paid by
the landlord.
Who this is for
Medical, dental, veterinary, and optometry practices, and group practices approaching a lease expiration or renewal deadline and looking to reduce occupancy costs, improve lease terms, or preserve flexibility for future growth.
Relocating or Expanding Without Disrupting Patient Care
A relocation or expansion is one of the highest-risk moments for a healthcare practice —
done well, it grows the business; done poorly, it disrupts patient continuity and cash flow for
months. I coordinate the real estate side of a relocation or expansion end to end.
My Approach
Needs Assessment & Site Search
I identify space that fits your clinical, operational, financial,
and growth requirements.
Lease and Purchase Negotiation & Timing
I negotiate terms and timing — whether leasing
or purchasing — including overlap periods so you’re not paying two leases longer than
necessary.
Key Terms I Negotiate
Space improvements tailored to your specific requirements – Rent
abatement during your initial setup phase – Caps on expenses – Exclusivity rights – Renewal
options.
Free Representation
My services cost you nothing in most lease transactions. Fees are paid by
the landlord.
Who this is for
Medical, dental, veterinary, and optometry practices, and group practices
outgrowing their current space or adding locations.
For established practices, buying the building can make more financial sense than
continuing to lease — building equity instead of paying rent, controlling build-out decisions
long-term, and removing the risk of a future landlord non-renewal.
My Approach
Property & Tenant Evaluation
I assess a building’s suitability for medical or dental use and
evaluate existing tenant lease structures.
Market Positioning
I benchmark the property against healthcare-anchored comparables
across Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Deal Support
I advise you through offer, negotiation, and closing.
Who this is for
Healthcare professionals, practice owners, and commercial real estate investors considering healthcare-anchored properties with established tenants, long-term leases, and durable demand.
Medical, dental, and veterinary tenants are known for long lease terms, high retention,
and durable demand — qualities that make healthcare-anchored properties attractive to
investors. I bring 15 years of healthcare tenant-side experience to the investment side.
