Manage episode 515126442 series 3644755
DSO or private buyer? Here's what every dentist needs to know before selling.
In this episode of Dental Office Rescue, Linda Kane sits down with practice transition expert Caleb Carter, CEO of Trusted Practice Transitions, to break down the real math behind DSO deals vs. private buyers. This is a must-listen for any dentist considering a sale, partnership, or retirement in the next few years.
From burnout to big offers, Caleb explains how to avoid regret and costly mistakes, and lays out a full, real-world math breakdown comparing DSO deals to private sales, including:
- How much you’ll actually take home (after fees, management cuts, and workbacks)
- What DSO “multiples” really mean and how they can be misleading
- How long you’ll need to stay on after selling, and at what pay
- Why profitability and planning matter more than ever
Caleb shares honest, non-biased insight to help you avoid costly mistakes and choose the path that’s right for you.
