If a DSO has approached you about your practice, the offer you received was built by a team that negotiates these deals every day. Having someone on your side who understands both the dental industry and deal structure changes the outcome, often significantly.
DSO offers are structured in ways that are hard to compare to a simple sale: upfront cash, equity rollover, earnout provisions, and multi-year employment or non-compete terms. We benchmark the offer against your practice’s real valuation and against what other DSOs are paying for comparable practices.
Beyond the price, DSO deals often include terms around clinical autonomy, staffing decisions, and multi-year commitments. We walk through what the contract actually requires of you after closing, not just the headline number.
Once you understand the offer, we negotiate on your behalf: price, equity rollover terms, retained autonomy, and your post-sale role, rather than accepting the first number presented.
This is the exact situation behind our free second opinion review: a no-obligation conversation with Jared Bergquist, CCIM before you sign anything a DSO has sent you.
