Show Notes
In this podcast episode of “Just Say No to the DSO,” hosts Bob Spiel and Nate Williams discuss the importance of dentists maintaining control of their practices rather than selling to Dental Service Organizations (DSOs).
They emphasize that smart business people don’t overpay for practices and that DSOs are adept at making dentists think they’re getting a great deal when, in reality, they may be giving away their practices for little to no value.
The hosts explain the concept of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) and how DSOs structure deals in a way that essentially allows them to acquire practices for free or at a minimal cost to themselves.
They warn dentists to be cautious of promises made by DSOs regarding equity and future earnings, as these promises may not materialize. The episode concludes with a teaser for the next installment, where they will delve deeper into the realities of DSO deals.
