Sheridan Capital Partners-Backed Oral Surgery Partners Announces Appointment of New CEO

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oral Surgery Partners (“OSP”), an established oral surgery management group, is pleased to announce the appointment of Sohail Malad as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective August 12th. Sohail Malad, a seasoned healthcare executive with a proven track record of leadership and innovation, will succeed John Cline, who served as CEO for the past three years and will continue to remain involved in an advisory capacity. Under John’s tenure, OSP experienced significant growth, establishing itself as a trusted name in the oral surgery field, and his continued involvement will ensure a smooth and effective leadership transition.

Sohail Malad brings a wealth of experience to OSP, having previously served as President of National Veterinary Associates’ (“NVA”) General Practice business.
