Our Philosophy

We Replace Uncertainty with Understanding.

You’ve built something valuable. Deciding what comes next doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or uncertain.

We protect your life’s work by aligning with your goals and providing peace of mind every step of the way. That means educating you on your options, creating competition among buyers, and negotiating terms that protect your team, your patients, and your legacy.

  • We educate you on each of your options.
  • We match you with partners who share your values.
  • We maximize the value of your life's work

Our Process

One Goal. Your Best Outcome.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined framework. Because the biggest decision of your career deserves more than a handshake and a hope.

Educate
Educate

We show you every option on the table: DSOs, MSOs, private equity, strategic partners. So you choose from strength, not ignorance.

Specialty Practice Transitions & Partnerships
Evaluate

We analyze your financials, benchmark your value, and identify which path aligns with your goals.

Match

We don't list your practice on a marketplace. We hand-select buyers and create competitive tension that drives premium offers.

Execute

LOI to close, we're in the room. Negotiating terms, protecting your interests, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

The 7 Pillars Framework

More Than a Broker, We're a True Advisor.

Most advisors look at one number: the offer. We evaluate every transition through the 7 Pillars of Deal Value. Each pillar offers a unique lens to evaluate value based on your goals and your circumstances, so you can make the best informed decision.

The 7 Pillars Framework

We evaluate every deal through seven distinct lenses because the highest bid isn’t always the best outcome. This is the framework behind every engagement.

01

Financial Value

The economic factors of a deal can be complex. Our experts guide you through assessing and maximizing the value of each economic factor.

02

Partner Fit​

Transitions are about finding a partner who will play a meaningful role in your life’s next chapter. We help you identify and evaluate the right fit.

03

Quantitative Analysis

We conduct in-depth analysis comparing the financial and lifestyle impacts of a transition so you can make apples-to-apples comparisons.

04

Alternative Evaluation

Every decision requires understanding available alternatives. We help you analyze each before making an educated decision.

05

Personal Objectives

While financial value is critical, your personal objectives are equally essential. We help you understand how they align with available options.

06

Transaction Timing

Market, career, and personal timing must align with your goals. We help you determine when the timing is right for a successful partnership.

07

Risk

Each transition has financial and lifestyle risk. We help you define your risk tolerance and assess partners’ impact on each class of risk.

See your deal through all seven.

Every engagement starts with a confidential, no-pressure valuation.

"Everything I did with 7 Pillars was not only thorough, detailed, and well done, it was enjoyable. I really had a great time working with all of them...The peace of mind that I had knowing that every 'i' was dotted and every 't' was crossed and that I wasn't missing something was huge."
Dr. Kelly Toombs, DDSPractice Owner
Dr. Kelly Toombs, DDS
"I can't even imagine doing this process on my own... not only the negotiations way more than paid for itself, but just the process of due diligence—the way that 7 Pillars walked me through due diligence—I barely had to do anything... I highly recommend 7 Pillars. They were phenomenal."
Dr. Hilton Goldreich, DDSMulti-Location Practice Owner
Dr. Hilton Goldreich, DDS
"7 Pillars made sure that we knew what we were getting into, what to expect, and questions we didn't even know to ask and you know they had the answer before we even knew we needed them...I just couldn't imagine doing it by ourselves. I would recommend 7 Pillars to anybody going through this process."
Dr. Jason Montgomery, DDSPractice Owner
Dr. Jason Montgomery, DDS
"One of the things that really stood out to me was that they were very direct. They were very honest about what the process was going to look like, what our involvement was going to be, and also what to expect."
Alix LaurainCEO
"7 Pillars were not forcing us into the marketplace... they were really willing to value our practice, see if this makes sense for us, and provide us with the information ahead of time. 7 Pillars is to us what we are to our patient... they had the information, I could ask questions, I could do some research on my own if I wanted, but they were the experts."
Dr. Kimber Holmes, DDSPractice Owner
"7 Pillars gave me the whole picture. They understood my practice, they understood the offers, they broke it down to that next level so that I really understood what the deal was. We felt that even towards the end and after our transaction took place that everybody was still there still working to make sure that everything got put to bed... everything was done to a sublime level."
Dr. Joseph GrayPractice Owner
"Once they've got a feel for who you are and what your practice is, they can connect you with the right people. 7 Pillars just went over and beyond what I think anybody else would do to help, and that's what really stands out with them. If I had to do it all all over again, I wouldn't use anybody but 7 Pillars."
