A DOCTOR-OWNED PRIVATE EQUITY FIRM

FOR ORTHODONTISTS & PEDIATRIC DENTISTS

WHY PHASE 1

The best choice for orthodontists and pediatric dentists

We commonly see orthodontists and pediatric dentists making the same two mistakes: selling at too low of an EBITDA and for too low of an EBITDA multiple.​

​

We solve these two problems with our Doctor Equity model by putting more control and economics back into the hands of our doctor partners. 

​

With Phase 1 you will

​

  • Benefit from private equity preparedness model and EBITDA optimization

  • Get the double-digit EBITDA rewards usually reserved for PE or DSOs

  • Achieve a greater economic outcome over individual terms from a traditional practice sale or sale to DSO

  • Keep clinical control and brand recognition of your practice

  • Protect your practice against current threats to orthodontics & dentistry 

  • Postpone changing how you pay yourself or how you put money into retirement plans

  • Secure equity payout earlier to overcome future risks to practice

Why Phase 1?

OUR MISSION

Turning private equity into Doctor Equity

Phase 1 Equity is a doctor-owned, doctor-led, doctor-controlled private equity firm that is flipping the script on the traditional DSO model. Our model  puts doctors' financial futures first by combining best-in-class, like-minded orthodontists and pediatric dentists.

​

We partner with orthodontists and pediatric dentists who are passionate about where the industry is headed. Phase 1 exists to share the inside world of private equity with our doctor members to help optimize their EBITDA and realize their practices' full potential.
