In an industry where clinical precision and compassionate care must coexist, Dr. Henry Silvestriz-Lora stands out as a rare breed of leader—one who bridges his background in healthcare, the military, law enforcement, and business with a heartfelt commitment to people-first leadership. As CEO of Align Med, a rapidly expanding multidisciplinary group, Dr. Henry has engineered a bold transformation, marrying cutting-edge technology with a deeply rooted culture of employee empowerment and patient advocacy.
“My mission is to support and care for our employees, ensuring they are happy and empowered to provide excellent care to our patients,” Dr. Henry explains. “I believe in fostering a collaborative, positive work environment and leading by example so that our providers and staff are motivated to go above and beyond.”
This philosophy has proven to be more than rhetoric—it’s the driving force behind Align Med’s impressive growth trajectory. Under Dr. Henry’s leadership, the company has expanded its locations, invested in state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, and elevated its ability to support personal injury patients and their legal teams with undeniable medical evidence.
“In personal injury, objective data is everything,” Dr. Henry notes. “It’s essential that we are equipped with irrefutable data that clearly points to the injury and its severity, giving our patients and referring attorneys the best chance to win their cases.”
That commitment to precision extends beyond the MRI machines and digital health records. It lives in the company culture—a culture Dr. Henry painstakingly rebuilt after assuming leadership during a period of uncertainty. One of his earliest actions as CEO was to restore trust and morale by personally visiting each office and sitting down with employees.

“The biggest challenge was low morale, or rather, the complete lack of it,” he says. “Employees were nervous and concerned about their job security after the company underwent a change in ownership. I discovered creative ways to bring the team together and shift the culture, transforming it into that of a family—now with over 60 members.”
Today, Align Med’s staff participates in weekly training sessions, team-building retreats, and community outreach initiatives that reflect Dr. Henry’s belief in service beyond the workplace. A recent 6-day cruise for employees and a sponsored Dragon Boat Festival fundraiser for breast cancer research are just two examples of how he strengthens bonds within the organization while giving back.
Despite the demands of rapid expansion, Dr. Henry remains grounded in the principles of sustainability and accountability. He emphasizes the importance of monitoring the P&L while investing in people and infrastructure to scale responsibly. His passion for leadership is matched by his love for photography, travel, and philanthropy—all of which reinforce his holistic approach to leading not just a company, but a movement within healthcare.
Dr. Henry’s story is a testament to the power of visionary leadership rooted in humility, service, and relentless pursuit of excellence. At Align Med, innovation may drive the business—but it’s the people who power the mission.
