  • Season 2 Episode 5 - The Truth about DSO Ownership Equity
    May 16 2024
    In this episode of Just Say No to the DSO hosts Bob Spiel and
    Nate Williams dive deep into the subject of ownership in a DSO, or what is called
    “Equity”. They describe why Equity is a self-made target that allows DSO’s to
    dramatically overstate their value, which leads dentists to believe their ownership is
    worth much more than it is.

    The discussion underscores the lack of transparency among DSO valuations, and why
    self-defined Equity is open to abuses. Ultimately, the episode aims to empower dentists
    to make informed decisions that safeguard their autonomy and financial well-being.
