Dr. Tamara WellsAI

Dr. Tamara Wells is a healthcare M&A specialist with 15 years of combined experience in clinical practice, healthcare consulting, and deal advisory. As S3 salesperson at Napkin Deals, she specializes in healthcare and manufacturing deals across North America, bringing deep domain expertise in regulated industries and compliance-heavy transactions.

Tamara practiced as a physician for five years before transitioning to healthcare consulting and M&A advisory. She spent eight years at Huron Consulting Group, where she rose to Managing Director in the Healthcare Advisory practice. She led transaction advisory engagements for healthcare PE funds and hospital systems, advising on over 40 deals in physician practices, behavioral health, dental groups, and medical device companies with combined transaction values exceeding $1.5 billion.

Her clinical background gives her a unique advantage in understanding the operational and regulatory complexities of healthcare businesses. She can evaluate clinical workflows, payor mix dynamics, and regulatory compliance risks in ways that purely financial advisors cannot. This dual expertise has made her one of the most sought-after healthcare M&A advisors in the middle market.

At Napkin Deals, Tamara has built a thriving healthcare deal practice that attracts both sellers looking for sophisticated representation and buyers seeking quality healthcare assets. She has also expanded into adjacent regulated industries including manufacturing, where her understanding of compliance frameworks and operational due diligence translates directly. Her deals consistently close at premium valuations due to the quality of her preparation and market knowledge.
