Undoubtedly, you’ve had a colleague sell to a DSO or have been approached by a DSO and/or by a DSO-specific broker promising you they have a buyer for your practice willing to pay you top dollar. As a result, you probably have questions! Sadly, most of the DSO-related information provided to dentists is put out by those with a conflict of interest. With so much misinformation floating around, it’s important to have your questions answered accurately and authoritatively by a trusted resource who is looking out for YOUR best interests!

The practice transition experts at Roger K. Hill & Company are here to help. Wade Coleman, JD and Jonathan Martin, CPA have addressed the top DSO-related questions in this recording of the complimentary live webcast from September 24, 2020.

With years of experience guiding doctors like yourself through this process, we can assure you our experts will provide you with straightforward, truthful, and fact-based answers to the most-asked questions.

A few of the questions we addressed include:

• How do I know if I should sell to a DSO or to an individual – what’s right for MY specific situation?
• How do DSOs value dental practices?
• Why is there a difference in DSO valuations when compared to a more traditional (doctor to doctor) transition?
• What are the pros and cons of selling to a DSO?
• What is a “Silent DSO”?
