Show Notes
On today's episode, Mark sits down with Matt, co-owner of Oak Dental Partners, who shares how he scaled a DSO from $7 million to $23 million in EBITDA in just three and a half years, with plans to hit $30 million in the next 18 months. Matt breaks down the strategies behind acquiring 70+ practices, the importance of holding sellers accountable through earn-outs, and buying practices at favorable multiples to maximize returns. He also discusses handling private equity partnerships, the impact of interest rates on valuations, and why doctor-led DSOs create better outcomes for sellers and teams.
