You've Built the Group.
Now Build the Infrastructure.
You've outgrown office-by-office management, but a full DSO corporate infrastructure means overhead you don't want and headcount you don't need yet. Pento supplies the operating layer in between.
Build DSO-level infrastructure before carrying DSO-level overhead.

Institutional perspective
Built With an Investor's View of Practice Performance.
Sophisticated investors evaluate dental businesses on far more than revenue. Pento applies the same lens to doctor-owned practices.
These principles apply whether the doctor intends to remain independent forever, open additional locations, acquire practices, build a group or eventually pursue a strategic transaction.
Build value first. Decide what to do with it later.
