When people talk about DSOs, the spotlight is often on the largest “Elite” groups with 75+ locations — and with ~12,000 affiliated practices, it’s easy to see why.
But the numbers tell another story:
- Mid-Market DSOs (10–74 locations): 7,000+ affiliated practices
- Small/Emerging DSOs (3–9 locations): 7,000+ affiliated practices
- Mobile practices: an additional growing segment
Together, the Mid-Market and Small/Emerging DSOs represent a market share that rivals the Elites — underscoring that opportunity, growth, and innovation are happening across every tier of consolidation.
