Just a Couple of Dentists 1 Mega Practice or Multiple Locations — Which Wins? (ft. John Wloderek)
When Alex and I first got started, the goal was simple: build a cluster of offices, dominate our area, and eventually sell the group. We ended up selling both of our locations but then we watched friends who focused on just one massive practice walk away with deals way bigger than ours. That got me wondering…should we have just built one mega practice?
So I brought on our former broker, John Wlodarek, to break down what buyers and DSOs are actually looking for right now. We get into:
-
Why a single large location is easier to sell than multiple locations
-
How deal structures have changed since the post-COVID peak
-
The headaches and hidden costs of multi-location ownership
-
What’s worth upgrading before you sell (and what’s a waste of money)
And now, here’s where ChatGPT would normally say: “If you’re thinking about selling your practice, this one’s for you.”
PS - Alex and I love doing Just a Couple of Dentists and our only ask is that if you are at least somewhat enjoying it, please share it with a friend. It helps the podcast grow and we can share more stories with you all!
