Why are so many doctors who thought they would never sell their practice at this stage in their career, joining DSOs?

More and more doctors are selling to, or ‘joining’ DSOs, because they get to share in the VALUE DISCREPANCY that exists between Main Street and Wall Street.

The spread between what a DSO pays for a single practice, and what that DSO sells the practice for as part of a bundle, is the SECRET SAUCE that makes it work for doctors.

That spread is so high, a DSO can pay substantially more for a profitable dental practice than would ever be offered in a doctor in a doctor-to-doctor transaction. 

Understand the ‘value discrepancy’ and, you know why the right DSO may be happy to buy your practice for DOUBLE or even TRIPLE what another doctor ever would. 

You may think you have no interest in selling to a DSO.

But what if you could bank, say $5 million to $15 million (depending on the size and profitability of your practice), MORE than you ever dreamed possible, with retained equity, and the ability to earn as much as you like chairside? 

Ponder this…

  • If you could sell your practice and net DOUBLE what you expect, retain some equity and the ability to earn unlimited income chairside, would you?
  • If you could sell, and net TRIPLE what you expect – say you expect to net $3 million – but discover a DSO that would offer you much closer to $9 million - would you consider an offer?

I don’t know how you would respond to an offer like that.  But one of the main reasons DSOs are growing so fast is, MANY doctors are saying yes to purchase offers that a few years ago were not even imaginable, much less realizable. 

Whether you’re interested in selling or not, you must admit the idea of banking millions of dollars more than you ever dreamed possible to in the event of a sale is enticing.
