DSO or private buyer? Here's what every dentist needs to know before selling.
In this episode of Dental Office Rescue, Linda Kane sits down with practice transition expert Caleb Carter, CEO of Trusted Practice Transitions, to break down the real math behind DSO deals vs. private buyers. This is a must-listen for any dentist considering a sale, partnership, or retirement in the next few years.
From burnout to big offers, Caleb explains how to avoid regret and costly mistakes, and lays out a full, real-world math breakdown comparing DSO deals to private sales, including:
- How much you’ll actually take home (after fees, management cuts, and workbacks)
- What DSO “multiples” really mean and how they can be misleading
- How long you’ll need to stay on after selling, and at what pay
- Why profitability and planning matter more than ever
Caleb shares honest, non-biased insight to help you avoid costly mistakes and choose the path that’s right for you.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
