An evolution of thoughts towards DSOs...
Over the past couple of years, I have been lucky to spend a lot of time with my father. We have been brought together as a family for celebrations and memorials (sadly) over the years. Each time we get together, he asks me about the ever-changing landscape in the DSO M&A markets. You see, my father is a pediatric dentist. He started his practice in 1976, grew the practice to a multi-doctor single location, saw 100+ children a day in the summertime, and ultimately sold his practice to his associate about 7 years ago. Over the course of my 14-year career in the business of dentistry, my father and I have always talked shop.
