Intrepid Investment Bankers, a leading middle-market investment bank and the advisory arm of global financial group MUFG, announced today that it served as the exclusive financial advisor to Yapi, a leader in patient engagement, on its merger with DoctorLogic, a leader in patient acquisition and website technology.
With this strategic combination, practices will be able to streamline operations using a single platform for website management, online presence, appointment scheduling, last-minute cancellations, automated forms management, texting, reminders, insurance verification, and patient dashboards. Furthermore, the combined companies will enhance integration capabilities across their product suites, optimizing workflows from the initial patient awareness to comprehensive management throughout their care journey. This integration is expected to significantly increase the volume of new patients, optimize patient experiences, and boost practice revenues.
“We’re extremely excited about the combination of Yapi and DoctorLogic and what it’ll mean in terms of robust features, added service capabilities, and expansion of innovative solutions for our existing and new clients and the marketplace in general,” said DJ Chhabra, President and CEO of Yapi and of the combined companies. “DoctorLogic has had a history of providing exceptional technology and services to assist practices in managing their existing and new patient base. Those capabilities, combined with Yapi’s product solutions, allow us to deliver an exceptional breadth and depth of features to manage the entire patient acquisition to engagement journey. I’m excited to lead the combined business and to deliver on the plans and needs of our clients.”
“For over a decade, DoctorLogic has been at the forefront of patient acquisition, and Yapi has been a leader in patient engagement,” said Stuart Lloyd, Co-founder and CEO of DoctorLogic. “With the advent of AI, our customers are asking for a software platform that can handle everything from the website to the waiting room. By combining these two amazing companies, we can now offer the most comprehensive patient experience platform that can manage the entire patient journey. I’m excited to continue with the combined businesses in the capacity of Head of Strategy.”
“It was a privilege to guide such a seasoned management team and leading brand name in the dental patient engagement market in facilitating this strategic outcome, and delivering a successful transaction with the shareholders,” said Josh Moses, Managing Director of the Software & Services practice at Intrepid. “The Yapi team has truly differentiated its capabilities with a next generation experience platform, positioning itself nicely to further accelerate growth and strengthen its market position,” added Josh.
