KintariBuilding the leading network of sports medicine and regenerative clinics.
A trusted home for exceptional clinics, and the physicians who built them.
Start a conversationOur mission is simple: help the best sports medicine and regenerative clinics grow, without losing what made them worth building.
For exceptional, physician-led clinics ready for their next stage.
Where the people who built a clinic keep building, together.
The capital, technology, and support to reach further, without giving up control.
Built for physicians.
Kintari partners with the physicians behind sports medicine and regenerative clinics. We take on the business of running a practice, so you can stay focused on medicine.
You keep your name, your team, and your standard of care. You gain a partner that has built and run clinics at scale, and built the technology behind them.
What we do for you.
The best part of medicine is the medicine. We take on the rest, as much or as little as you want.
Protect what you built
Your name, your brand, and your reputation stay yours. We build on what makes your practice work, we do not replace it.
Grow the practice
Capital and hands-on support to open the next location, add a service line, or bring on the right people, behind a plan that is yours.
Modern operations
Marketing, scheduling, billing, and reporting on systems built the way a technology company would build them, so your team can stay with patients.
A community of peers
A group of physician-led clinics who share what works, from protocols to hiring to the business of running a practice.
The back office, handled
Hiring, payroll, compliance, and the paperwork that eats your evenings, taken care of by people who do it all day.
Grow the clinic. Keep what makes it yours.
We do not lead with a deal. We start with where you want your practice, and your life, to be in five years, and build the partnership around that. Two ways in:
Partnership
Step back fully, keep operating with our support, or anything in between. You keep meaningful ownership and a real say; we take on the work of running and growing the business.
Growth Investment
Capital behind a plan you already have: a new location, a new device, a key hire. You stay in charge; we bring the resources to move faster.
The practice you built keeps its name, its brand, and its reputation. Yours.
The people who make your clinic what it is keep their jobs and their standing.
Every clinical decision stays with you and your clinical team. Always.
We put this in writing, not just in the pitch. You keep a real voice, so protecting what makes your practice yours stays in everyone's interest.
Evidence over hype.
Sports medicine and regenerative medicine sit at different points on the evidence curve. Treatments like PRP and other orthobiologics are newer, and still being defined by the FDA and the courts. That is not a reason to avoid them. It is a reason to be disciplined. We partner with physicians who treat evidence as part of how they practice, and it shows in three ways.
Protocols set by clinicians
What a clinic offers is decided by its clinical leadership against the evidence, not by what is trending this quarter.
Claims sized to the evidence
A trial, a case series, and a testimonial are different kinds of proof. Good clinics know which one they are standing on.
Outcomes tracked over time
Following patients over the months that follow is how you prove a result. The clinics worth partnering with already do it.
The people behind Kintari.
