Practice Evaluations

Looking to purchase or merge a practice?

Aside from buying a home, investing in a dental practice is likely the single most important financial decision you'll make. Just as you wouldn't purchase a house without an inspection, you shouldn't acquire a practice without a comprehensive evaluation. Our team exclusively represents purchasers, conducting thorough due diligence to identify potential roadblocks that could impact your success. We analyze business systems and historical data to determine if the practice is operating efficiently and uncover opportunities for growth.

What clients have to say

We cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional service provided by Gene and her team during our dental office transition. From the moment we engaged her services, we totally knew we were in expert hands.

Gene brought a level of expertise and understanding that exceeded our expectations. Her deep knowledge of dental practice management and the intricacies of transitioning made the entire process smooth and efficient. She took the time to listen to our concerns, understand our goals, and tailor her recommendations to suit our specific needs. She even found things that the previous practice owner neglected to mention in our initial contract!

I had an outstanding experience with Gene! Gene's expertise and support was critical in my journey of building a start-up and transitioning to practice ownership and management. She has a wealth of knowledge on all aspects of the process and has made herself readily available for any and all questions that have come up. Gene has also provided an encyclopedic quantity of written practice management materials, which are of the highest quality. Countless times, she has steered me in the right direction, and saved me copious amounts of time and money. I highly recommend Gene and her team!

I am collaborating with Gene on my pediatric dental start-up, she has been absolutely phenomenal throughout this journey. From guiding me and ensuring I don't overlook any crucial steps, to offering valuable recommendations for every aspect required for a successful start-up, to being readily available to answer my late-night texts and calls and providing reassurance. Working with Gene and her team has been a great experience, and I highly recommend them to anyone in a similar venture.

Gene and her team are fantastic. She helped me start my endodontic practice and was a wonderful resource. I was prepared and able to establish a dream practice with her help. Gene is one of the best in dental--she was available anytime I needed her advice and help. Molly and Paige are wonderful as well and everyone truly cares about my practice and me. I cannot say enough good things about this consulting group! It is the best decision I made to use Gene and her team in my start-up. I could not be as successful right away without them. Using GSL Consulting is worth the expense. If you are planning to start a dental practice, you need to be using Gene!

My wife started her dental office about a year ago and Gene has been super helpful from day 1. She has all the answers and knows the “behind the scenes” of all the players. It’s refreshing to have someone in your corner.

Most of the vendors are getting a cut for every referral they make, so you don’t know if a vendor is legitimately good or if your referral is getting a kickback. Gene doesn’t accept kickbacks, so if she refers to a vendor (there will be a lot of them!!) you know they are the best!!!

We call her the Godmother of the office because we call her in a panic constantly!!

As a dentist navigating the transition after our retiring partner left, we knew we needed to overhaul our systems and improve efficiencies, but we had no idea where to start. Overwhelmed and drowning in busy work, we sought the expertise of Gene St Louis Consulting. From the moment we met Gene and Paige, we knew they were the key to achieving our goals. Their confidence was contagious, making it easy to trust them immediately.
