Lina K. from Arizona

Lina K. Pharmacist

My name is Lina K, and I was seeking an opportunity to acquire a pharmacy, or partner with an existing pharmacy to expand their business. I built a pharmacy in Michigan in 2009, and sold it in 2013 when I moved to Arizona. In June of 2014, I developed a business relationship with Diversified Pharmacy Solutions, LLC (Triavo Health) . I have been very pleased that I partnered with them. Here are several reasons why.

Diversified Pharmacy Solutions, LLC (Triavo Health) is true to their mission. From day one, they treated me as if I was their only client, even though they service the entire country.

Diversified’s representatives, especially Joel Rhoads are easily accessible, and are more than willing to answer my questions.

The Brokerage and Consulting services they offer are only focussed on pharmacy, and it was evident that they know the business very well. They helped me find a Pharmacy venture that was perfectly suited for me. Furthermore, I know that without Diversified Pharmacy Solutions, LLC, I would not have found the relationship that I found.

Diversified Pharmacy Solutions, LLC (Triavo Health) kept their word with the confidentiality agreements we signed.

For these reasons, I highly recommend Diversified Pharmacy Solutions (Triavo Health) for anyone looking to buy or sell a pharmacy.

Joel and Justin Rhoads were able to sell my pharmacy for more than I was expecting, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy. They were very knowledgeable, and made the process seamless. I truly appreciate their work.

Dr. Ike from California

Dr. Ike Owner

To my fellow pharmacy owners,

I really highly recommend Joel and his team for any pharmacy
buy or sell transaction. Joel is very professional and will always strive to do
better than expected. He got me a very quick sell of my pharmacy as I couldn't
secure a new lease and was facing eviction. The whole transaction took about 3
weeks and the price was what I wanted.

Great service! Thank you Joel

Robert Quinn from California

Dr. Robert Quinn, PharmD Owner

Two years ago my compounding pharmacy was struggling to remain in business in light of significant changes affecting the practice. Selling my pharmacy was a very strong consideration. I initially contacted Joel and Justin Rhoads to ask for help with the sale. When they both came to pay a personal visit to my pharmacy, I discovered that they provide much more than just an avenue for sale. They took the time to assess my entire situation and discuss ways to maximize profits by “restructuring” and “retooling.” They had the answers. Then, they went to work! They modified everything from my services, to staffing, to work flow! Two years later they still check in with me to see how we are doing. I can’t thank Justin and Joel enough for believing in me and caring about my practice.</em>
Sincerely,

Grace Rexall From Arizona

I want to say a big thank you to Joel Rhoads for being a huge support system when i sold my two pharmacies in July 2017. He was there from the beginning to the very end. He made sure I came out with a huge chunk of profit, by being my spokesperson with the company that bought the files. He was able to negotiate very well on my behalf. I like the fact that he is a pharmacist and had owned his own pharmacies, it made the process seamless.He has integrity, and I am glad i worked with him. It was important for me to work with someone that had a higher being they believed in, and Joel was that person. He represented me at closing because I had prior engagement. He told me not to worry about it, his brother will stand in for me and he did. My pastor was at closing, to stand in for me and she said Joel went over and above the call of duty to make sure all went well.If i had to sell any pharmacy in the future, I will still work with Joel Rhoads!You rock Joel!!

Gary M. Director of Pharmacy Acquisitions

The team, led by Joel Rhoads, has been a pleasure to deal with. While they represent their sellers with the highest level of respect and concern they also deal with buyers in the same manner and with the highest level of integrity. They are responsive and efficient. I feel comfortable with opportunities that Joel presents to me knowing that he has carefully vetted the business as well. Brokers who are also pharmacists and former independent owners just seem to "get it"

Fifi T. From California

Joel and Justin did a wonderful job preparing our pharmacy for a sale and found us the buyer with the most reasonable offer. We are extremely grateful for their service and highly recommend this team of pharmacy brokers.

Bob Shelton From Colorado

Bob Shelton Owner – Pharmacist

Joel and Justin are simply Good Men!! I just sold my pharmacy and it could not have gone better. I started working with Joel about 10 months ago and he is extremely knowledgeable in all facets of his business. He returns calls and answers all questions in a timely manner. Justin handled the closing and was efficient, kind and funny. I highly recommend this team of Good Men!

Joel is very knowledgeable about buying and selling pharmacy businesses. My 4th year pharmacy students who take my 16 week entrepreneurial class are always very pleased learning all about the facets that are involved with buying or starting a new business. I am very fortunate to have Joel come back every year to speak to my students.

Amma A. From California

Amma A. Owner - Pharmacist

Joel and his team understand the business of Pharmacy from the owner’s perspective, so I didn’t have to waste time explaining what I needed from the transaction. Joel was there to “hold my hand” the whole way . Joel was available at all hours to fit in with my crazy schedule. He was the liaison I needed to get the pharmacy sold. On the day of the sale , Justin arrived and I felt he was on my team. He was practical, reassuring, and and an asset on the most stressful day. I will be forever grateful.

Bryan Henderson From Florida

Bryan Henderson RPh Owner-Pharmacist

Joel did a great job helping us find the right buyer and worked constantly to keep the process moving. Joel and his brother Justin are great people with much knowledge of how these transactions need to be handled. They understand the financial as well as the emotional part of the business that we have worked so hard for so many years to build.

Ayodele Arewa from Maryland

Ayodele Arewa from Maryland owner

Myself and my husband owned 2 independent pharmacies in Maryland. Initially, we were interested in selling 1 pharmacy, but the buyer would not buy one without the other, Joel worked tirelessly with the buyer and was able to get us a deal we could not turn down. It's been 3 months now and I am still so grateful to Joel and his crew. They went above and beyond to make sure the process was smooth for us. Selling a business is an emotional one and you need someone who is both knowledgeable and compassionate to follow through with the process. Joel was that guy for us. Ever so glad that our friend recommended him !! What are you waiting for ? A trial will surely convince you !!

Tom Posin From California

Tom Posin Pharmacy Owner

My experience with Team Rhoads and Triavo Health was nothing short of excellent. They were responsive, efficient, knowledgable and they produced results. Questions were addressed without regard to time of day or day of the week. I am glad to have responded to their unsolicited email, which is not my usual style. No regrets whatsoever.

John T From Wisconsin

John T Owner - Pharmacist

I attempted to sell my pharmacy independent of a broker. The process
with retail chains was tedious and full of long wait periods in-between
contacts. Fortunately, and out-of-the-blue, Joel contacted me. It
literally felt like a saving grace. We discussed what Triavo Health had
to offer, the roles, and the benefits of utilzing their services.
Typically, I am skeptical of third party services...but, we clicked
immediately. It felt like he was God-sent. Within days, Joel took over
the reigns. He made all of the contacts with a buyer, negotiated the
best price, and relieved me from the day-to-day upkeep with a pharmacy
sale transaction. Joel and Jared are class acts, enthusiastic, very
responsive, and go-getters. I could sleep at night knowing they were
advocating for the sale of my pharmacy...which is always a hard process.
Joel and Jared made it a smooth transaction and transition.

Carol Novick From Vermont

Carol Novick President

As retirement beckoned, I realized I was unprepared to navigate the muddy waters of selling my pharmacy. I reached out to Joel, who, with his enthusiasm, immediately set out to guide me. With every step towards my goal, he was there to advise. Communication was fantastic. My messages were returned quickly, usually within minutes . He left no stone unturned in his efforts to find a buyer for my small town community pharmacy. When he was successful, he negotiated great terms. The sale went very smoothly and happened much quicker than I anticipated. Jared was there the day of the sale to work with me as the transition took place. He went out of his way to make sure everything that needed to be completed was done. Thank you, Joel and Jared.

There are many details in selling a pharmacy. I know I couldn’t have done it as successfully by myself. Joel and Jared have so much knowledge about the process and are so personable. I would highly recommend their services—I am so glad I decided not to go it alone!

Artem Kam From California

Artem Kam Director of Pharmacy

I have to say that the team at Triavo Health is one of a kind. Joel and
Jared are hardworking guys who really helped smooth the process of our
acquisition. They are very knowledgeable of the industry and pharmacy itself.
It was an great experience because they were always available for questions
that we had. They were proactive about making sure both parties were happy. The
most important thing was I always felt that they were on top of everything.
That made me feel very comfortable during the whole process. There is a lot of
intricacies, paperwork, and tasks but the guys helped along the way. Thanks
Jared, Joel and the rest of the team at Triavo Health!

Sammi M. From Oregon

Sammi M. Director

We had a unique situation with our 100% compounding only pharmacy where we were looking to partner with a bigger Pharmacy/Company. Joel Rhoads personally worked with us, and stayed in touch regularly to work with us. His patience and hard work eventually led us to an acquirer that was a perfect for a situation. Joel is very creative in putting together deals that is custom fit for his client like in our situation.

Chris Brown From MD

Christopher L. Brown RPh-Retired owner

With the excellent work by Jared and Justin Rhoads and most gracious
Elise DeNoyer, Schindel’s Pharmacy in Hagerstown MD closed its doors
after 122 years in business. These fine people made my retirement
happen in very short order. From the start of the process to the end,
Jared and Elise were there for me after brokering an excellent buyout
deal. Since working in the pharmacy since I was 16 years old, pharmacist
for 45 years and owner for 38 years, this was
my life for 51 years. At the initial conversation they told me they
could help me retire for my wife and grandchildren , and they did it in
an extraordinary fashion. Believe me, this is the best money commission
wise that I have ever paid. Wish my home could
be sold with the same integrity as Triavo Health accomplished. Enough
said. Five Stars

Jim Roache from California

Jim Roache Owner

One of the honest and most ethical team of pharmacy brokers in the US. Joel and Justin Rhoads pursued the market for my specialty pharmacy / clinical vent/respiratory program to a very positive and extremely rewarding sale for me. They found the ideal, All cash, no contingency, no BS buyer who recognized the value of a seasoned team, year over year growth as an innovator with a spotless 33 year history. The Company continues its high growth rate in both specialty Rx and RT DME programs as lifelong competitors continue to give up on California and move on. I highly recommend Triavo Health. Forget the big boys who drown themselves in minutia. These guys are the real deal.

Phil Altman From NY

Phil Altman Owner

Jared had reached out to me thru a cold call. I told him i was a couple of years away from retiring and he asked if we could talk. He asked for a number that i would be comfortable with and then exceeded it. It was a whirlwind and they made it happen. Both Joel & Jared were all over it.
Thank you to both of you

Greg Savino From NY

Greg Savino Founder & CEO

Joel, Jared, and Abby are kind and considerate individuals who know how to make deals happen! In a matter of one week's time, I was introduced to them and they had a buyer sitting in my office with a LOI in hand! Their network of contacts runs deep and the variety can suit any seller. I would not have changed anything from them throughout the process. They are easy to reach and always ready to step in. They saw the entire deal through from start to finish and were able to keep it going through the most intense periods of COVID, without so much as a hiccup. I would certainly use them again as they understand the pharmacy landscape and the dynamic of ownership. Many thanks to them.

Reza Ghaderi From VA

Reza Ghaderi Owner

Joel, Jared and Elyse really delivered what they promised. They promised they were different than the other business brokers and we feel they negotiated the best deal for us. They kept the process moving forward, with weekly calls with buyers to make sure we were staying on track and deal closed as expected. The data warehouse worked awesome and made the sharing of data very easy. Overall this company negotiated the best deal in a very professional way for us. We recommend Triavo Health.

As an attorney I have worked with a lot of M&A Consultants and Triavo’s expertise in the pharmacy sector is unmatched. They stayed focused on the deal and worked hard to get the highest price for my client’s pharmacy. Most importantly, they were directly involved all the way through to the end and made sure there were no issues with the multi-day closing process.

Had the ability to work with the Triavo team and they were absolutely fantastic. They keep on top of everything and are always there to keep things organized. This is extremely advantageous from a buyer standpoint as we can truly focus on the items that need to be addressed without all of the headaches of trying to track down items. This team is of the highest quality when it comes to integrity which is key in the M&A space. Highly recommend and plan to work with them again soon!

Joel, Meg and the Triavo team kept the whole organization focused during what turned out to be a longer than normal due diligence process. This transaction represented the second and third hospice companies I have sold. Having worked with other M&A groups on Healthcare and Real Estate transactions, I can with confidence recommend Joel and Team Triavo to help you navigate the due diligence process and get the best value for your organization.
