Private equity in healthcare is booming—and few people understand its impact like Dr. Robert Colton. In this remote episode of Working Healthcare, host Meredith Hirsh and co-host Mike Chavez connect with Colton—physician, entrepreneur and founder of MDVIP—from his base between Boca Raton and the mountains of North Carolina to unpack how private capital is transforming the way care is delivered. With experience scaling dermatology groups, digital health startups and deals worth hundreds of millions, Colton brings a bold and unfiltered perspective on physician autonomy, practice consolidation and the future of medicine. The conversation covers the promises and pitfalls of private equity in healthcare, from new revenue models to ethical concerns about patient care. Fair warning: Rob has a lot to say—so we close the episode with a lightning round, where he answers big questions in five words or less. Tune in to hear how investment is reshaping the medical landscape and what it means for providers navigating today’s evolving system.
