What it’s worth
Medical & Dental valuation multiples
Practices vary widely, but healthy ones commonly trade around 4–7× EBITDA, with scaled, multi-provider groups attracting the strongest DSO/MSO interest. Smaller practices may be valued on SDE or a percentage of collections.
These are general, illustrative ranges for healthy businesses—not a valuation or an offer. Actual value depends on size, margins, recurring revenue, customer concentration, owner dependence, and deal structure. For a real number, request a free confidential valuation.

FAQ
Selling your medical or dental practice: FAQ
How are medical and dental practices valued?
Healthy practices commonly trade around 4–7× EBITDA, with larger multi-provider groups drawing the strongest DSO/MSO interest. Smaller practices may be valued on SDE or a share of collections.
Will I have to keep working after the sale?
Often buyers want the selling provider to stay for a transition or longer. The length and terms are negotiable and depend on your goals—we structure it around what you want.
How do you protect patient and staff confidentiality?
Buyers are vetted and sign NDAs before learning your identity, and sensitive details are staged—so patients and staff aren’t disrupted during the process.
