In considering the future of one’s dental practice, a pivotal question emerges: Should I contemplate the sale of my dental practice to a Dental Service Organization (DSO)? What factors should weigh into this decision? Is it merely a matter of financial gain, or does the overarching influence of a DSO bring complexities to the operational ethos of my practice? As I ponder the potential benefits, such as increased resources and administrative support, could I also be sacrificing the personal touch and patient relationships that have defined my practice for years? Furthermore, how might this choice affect my staff and their morale? Would they be receptive to such a transition? Ultimately, what are the long-term implications for my ability to provide quality care? Is this the right path for fostering not only my career but also the welfare of my patients? What are the risks and rewards of aligning with a DSO?
