about Amir Mortazavi
A Life Built on Entrepreneurship, Integrity, and Accountability.
Amir Mortazavi is a healthcare entrepreneur and business operator who has become a leading voice uncovering how the DOJ and health insurance providers have become dangerously intertwined, fighting for the accountability American patients deserve. For Amir, this is not a partisan issue. It is an American one.
Raised in Southern California after his family fled religious persecution in Iran, Amir grew up in a household that valued education, hard work, and ethical leadership. His father, Dr. Ali Mortazavi, became one of the most respected cardiologists in Texas, serving as Chief of Cardiology at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. That environment—surrounded by medicine, discipline, and service—shaped Amir’s early understanding of both healthcare and responsibility.
Amir attended Texas Lutheran University, where he earned degrees in finance and accounting before beginning his career at Ernst & Young. As an auditor, he worked with major healthcare systems and large organizations, gaining firsthand experience in compliance, financial transparency, and the regulatory frameworks that govern complex industries.

Building Healthcare Businesses
In 2008, Amir launched his first healthcare company, Total Home Medical Equipment, followed soon after by Total Home Health, an in-home nursing and physical therapy provider based in San Antonio.
Inspired in part by his grandfather’s experience receiving in-home care, Amir partnered with experienced healthcare professionals to build a company focused on delivering quality care while maintaining strict Medicare compliance. The company grew to multiple locations across Texas and was successfully sold in 2012.
He later entered the pharmacy and laboratory space, helping launch several physician-owned healthcare ventures designed to improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary prescriptions. These ventures ultimately evolved into NextHealth, one of the largest physician-owned ancillary healthcare service platforms in Texas, operating laboratory and pharmacy services that helped physicians verify medications and reduce reliance on addictive opioids.
A Commitment to Ethical Business
Throughout his career, Amir has prioritized compliance, transparency, and ethical operations in industries often defined by heavy regulation and complex oversight.
In 2017, after discovering serious compliance concerns among majority owners at NextHealth, Amir chose to resign and walk away from his equity stake rather than remain involved in a business he believed was operating improperly.

He went on to co-found Community Pharmacy Partners, a physician-owned pharmacy platform focused on reducing the prescription of controlled substances and addressing the growing opioid crisis. The company was built around strict compliance and transparent business practices and was successfully sold to private equity in 2018.
Continuing to Build
Amir has continued to build businesses across multiple industries. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he launched Vitalyc Medspa and grew the company into a multi-location medical aesthetics platform before selling it to private equity in 2025.
He has also co-founded companies outside of healthcare, including Ruckit, a logistics technology platform later acquired by Thoma Bravo, and Breakwater Energy Partners, a water infrastructure company serving the Permian Basin that was later acquired by Select Energy Services.
Across every venture, Amir’s approach has remained consistent: build responsibly, operate transparently, and create businesses that provide real value to the communities they serve.
Speaking Out
After years operating in one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country, Amir experienced firsthand the immense power health insurance companies have in weaponizing government agencies to further their monopolistic practices.
Vertically integrated health insurers like United Health Group engage in anti-competition warfare with small businesses to capture the maximum amount of consumer healthcare spend through their premiums, PBMs, physician groups, and pharmacies.
Family
Amir lives in Texas with his wife of more than thirteen years and their two children. Family remains central to his life and values, and the principles he was raised with—integrity, hard work, and accountability—continue to guide both his personal life and professional pursuits.
