WINNING INSIGHTS INTO THE DSO BUSINESS MODEL, WHETHER YOU'RE SELLING YOUR PRACTICE, PARTNERING WITH A DSO, COMPETING AGAINST THEM, OR LAUNCHING YOUR OWN DSO. The history of DSOs can be traced back to 1939, when Robert F. Beauchamp maneuvered against an impending California regulation that prohibited dentists from owning more than two practices. Before the law took effect, Dr. Beauchamp acquired seven more practices-a creative move that marked the beginning of corporate dentistry. Today, DSOs are the fastest-growing segment of dentistry, and their impact on the profession has been profound. If you're considering selling to a DSO, partnering with one, competing with one, or even starting a DSO yourself, The DSO Decision gives you the clarity, knowledge and tools you need to succeed.
