Dave Dahler, Managing Partner at JW Advisory, shares insights on how the dental practice sales landscape has evolved beyond the traditional doctor-to-doctor model, along with strategies for evaluating DSO/DPO offers, protecting real estate value, and timing an exit for maximum leverage.
Dental finance specialist. Real estate advocate. Focused on maximizing every dollar of a practice sale.
Dave spent nearly two decades in dental finance, starting with Bank of America’s dental division before founding his own real estate investment firm and eventually moving into practice advisory work. That path gave him a rare, full-circle view of the dental business, from financing a doctor’s first practice to helping them navigate the sale of their last one. Dave co-founded JW Advisory, a practice sales and valuation firm that works across both traditional doctor-to-doctor sales and DSO/DPO transactions, so dentists can understand every option before they exit, and make sure real estate isn’t left on the table.
