With so many DSOs in the industry, it can be hard to know how to choose the right one.

Below are five “golden rules” from Dr. Khouri, DDS, for dentists considering DSOs:

  1. Understand exactly how much control you will have and make sure it’s in the written contract.
  2. A DSO should preserve a successful practice’s original model, not remake it.
  3. Maximize compensation. Equity should never be a substitute for compensation.
  4. DSOs should help the practice grow and explore new innovations.
  5. Bargain hard to maximize the value of the practice.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
