Josh was extremely knowledgeable about the acquisition process, identifying a number of critical issues early in our discussions. He provides constant communication and is swift to recommend a change of course when it is appropriate.

"Mr. Josh Nemzoff, of Nemzoff and Company, served as the lead in the acquisition of a chain of not-for-profit hospitals by the University of Florida and its Shands Hospital. He was instrumental in leading our preparations and understanding of the market in which we were in a bidding competition with Columbia/HCA and was an aggressive and productive leader of our negotiating team in putting together our final negotiation. He is a hard and aggressive bargainer and placed us in a position in which our Board had great confidence in the outcome. His availability and skill at communication added to the confidence that the organization had in the entire process."

"One of the things most striking about Josh was his capacity to be relative at times of seeming impasse. More than once we believed that the negotiations would fail because of an inability to achieve understanding on a particular issue. Frequently, it was Josh who was able to reframe the question in a way that each side could see their way to a compromise. Josh has a reputation for being direct and it is certainly well deserved."

"During the course of this engagement, Josh and I enjoyed and outstanding working relationship. He is not afraid to stand up and defend his position. He also did not hesitate to tell us when this acquisition was not a good deal for our hospital. Although his firm at the time, Ernst and Young, would have made a substantial fee if the acquisition was pursued, I was particularly impressed by Josh's attitude of giving the best advice to his client regardless of the impact of his fees.  Should the opportunity for similar negotiations present itself again, I would not hesitate to use Mr. Nemzoff and I would recommend him to any hospital contemplating the merger or acquisition/transaction."

"Mr. Nemzoff's efforts were instrumental in our finding a buyer for a facility which was well located but suffered physician relation problems.  He also persevered well into the nights as closing negotiations with Richard Scott drug on for three very long days.  In the end, Mr. Nemzoff's insights into the market, the desires of the buyer and needs of the seller were well meshed into a transaction that satisfied both parties."

"He [Josh] is well-known throughout the industry and his efforts and accomplishments speak for themselves.  I have always considered Josh a friend as well as an adversary, as he possesses the unique qualities of an individual with great skills and compassion for his fellow man.  In short, he may beat you up and kick you out the door through the negotiation process, but at least he is kind enough at the end of the day to come over, pick you up and brush you off before sending you on your way."
