◆ Division VII — Infrastructure for groups going from 5 to 50.

DSO & Multi-Location Consulting

The operating spine of a real DSO — standardized SOPs, recruiting pipelines, marketing infrastructure, call center integration, and leadership development across every site.

What dso & multi-location consulting includes

DSO consulting helps dental groups build a consistent operating platform across locations. The work spans regional leadership, shared services, reporting, recruiting, acquisition integration, and de novo planning while keeping clinical decisions with appropriately qualified clinicians.

Our consulting and implementation process

  1. 01

    Assess the group

    Compare location-level P&Ls, reporting definitions, management responsibilities, staffing, and patient intake. Identify where inconsistent systems obscure performance.

  2. 02

    Design the operating structure

    Clarify executive, regional, and office-manager decision rights. Decide which administrative functions to centralize and which activities need local ownership.

  3. 03

    Build growth readiness

    Develop recruiting pipelines, launch checklists, systems standards, and acquisition-integration workstreams with legal, financial, and clinical advisors.

  4. 04

    Measure site-level execution

    Review same-store performance separately from acquired growth. Track implementation risks, staff continuity, reporting consistency, and capacity before the next expansion.

Questions, answered

DSO & Multi-Location Consulting: the common questions.

Scope, timelines, and cost — answered before you book the call.

What does DSO growth support involve?

The infrastructure a group needs to scale: centralized operations, standardized clinical and administrative systems, multi-site reporting, leadership hiring, acquisition diligence and integration, and readiness for institutional capital.

At what size should a group start building DSO infrastructure?

Most groups feel the ceiling between 3 and 10 locations, when owner-led operations stop scaling. That is the right moment to centralize before adding more sites.

Do you help with acquisitions?

Yes. We support diligence, valuation preparation, and post-close integration so acquired locations reach standardized operations quickly.

Do you prepare groups for private equity or a sale?

Yes. We help clean up reporting, margins, and org structure so the group presents accurately and defensibly to institutional buyers and lenders.
