Our Story
We Started with Beams.
Not patients. Not staff. Not systems.
Just an empty space, a vision, and the work ahead. In 2000 we opened the doors of a Connecticut dental practice that did not yet exist. There was no patient base. No operational infrastructure. No team. Just the belief that if you build something exceptional — patient by patient, system by system, relationship by relationship — it will perform.
Twenty-six years later that practice collects $1.2 million annually.
In private practice. Without DSO backing. Without corporate infrastructure. Without investor capital.
Just exceptional operational discipline. Built from the ground up.
What We Learned
We learned that the dentist is not what makes a practice perform. The infrastructure is. The systems. The staff. The vendor relationships. The collections processes. The patient retention. The marketing. The technology. The institutional knowledge that holds everything together quietly and invisibly every single day.
We learned that the most valuable person in any dental practice is rarely the most visible one.
We learned that when ownership changes — when a practice is acquired, when a doctor retires, when new systems come in — the single greatest risk to performance is losing the operational infrastructure that made it work in the first place.
Why Praxis Operations Group
We built Praxis Operations Group because the dental acquisition market needed something it did not have. Not another consultant who advises from a distance. Not a corporate operations team parachuted in from headquarters. Not a theory. Someone who has actually done it. Built it. Scaled it. Protected it. From the very first patient to $1.2 million in annual private practice collections.
That is what Praxis Operations Group is.
And that is what we bring to your practice. Every single day.

Who We Are
This isn't just a consulting firm. It's the result of 32 years of doing the work nobody saw — and deciding it was time the world did.
Praxis Operations Group was founded on a simple premise: the operational infrastructure of a dental practice is its most valuable and most overlooked asset.
With 32 years of experience — including co-building a Connecticut dental practice from inception to $1.2M in annual collections entirely in private practice — we bring a level of operational depth that no outside consultant can replicate.
We have done every job in the practice. Negotiated every vendor contract. Built every marketing system. Managed every staff hire. Migrated every software platform. Maintained every patient relationship.
We do not advise from a distance. We build from the inside.
For dental acquisition groups seeking above-benchmark performance across their portfolio, Praxis Operations Group offers senior-level operational consulting that protects your investment from day one.
$1.2M in annual collections. Built entirely in private practice. No DSO. No corporate backing. No shortcuts.

Who We Serve
Dental Acquisition Groups Protecting portfolio performance from day one. We specialize in ensuring acquired practices maintain and exceed their pre-acquisition collections benchmarks through operational continuity and strategic infrastructure.
Single Doctor Practices Preparing for acquisition, scaling collections, or optimizing operations. We bring executive-level operational leadership to practices that need to perform above benchmark without corporate overhead.
Multi-Site Organizations Building standardized operational systems across multiple locations. We create the infrastructure that allows dental groups to scale efficiently while protecting revenue performance at every site.
Practices in Transition Ownership changes, EHR migrations, staff restructuring, or market repositioning. We provide the operational stability and institutional knowledge that keeps a practice performing through any transition.
The Cost of Getting It Wrong
A practice that loses its operational infrastructure during a transition does not just underperform. It bleeds. Patient attrition accelerates. Collections drop. Staff leave. And a passive income investment becomes an active problem that nobody has time to fix.
Praxis Operations Group exists to make sure that never happens to your portfolio. We protect your investment from day one — with the operational depth, institutional knowledge, and hands-on expertise that no outside consultant can replicate.
We have already solved every problem you are facing. Without a corporate safety net.
Why Private Practice Matters
Achieving $1.2M in annual collections in a corporate or DSO-backed practice is one thing. Achieving it in pure private practice — without bulk insurance contracts, corporate marketing budgets, centralized billing teams, or investor infrastructure — is fundamentally different.
In private practice, every system has to be built from scratch. Every vendor relationship negotiated independently. Every patient earned one at a time. Every dollar of collections produced through operational discipline alone.
That is the environment that produced Praxis Operations Group. And that means when we walk into your practice — we have already solved every problem you are facing. Without a corporate safety net.
$1.2M — Annual collections · Private practice · No DSO ~50% — Below industry benchmark supply costs achieved 26 Years — Building and scaling a single private practice Zero — Corporate infrastructure. All results organic.
Results
What operational excellence actually looks like.
Collections Performance $1.2M in annual collections achieved in a single-doctor private practice — well above industry benchmarks of $600K–$800K — without DSO infrastructure or corporate support.
Supply Cost Management Maintained supply costs at approximately half the industry benchmark of 10% of gross revenue through disciplined vendor negotiation and procurement management.
Practice Development Built from pre-opening through grand opening — zero patients to a thriving $1.2M practice through community networking, targeted marketing, and patient-by-patient growth.
Acquisition Support Currently managing full operational transition for active practice acquisition — including EHR platform migration, IT infrastructure coordination, vendor transfers, and financial reporting.
Staff Development Built and led a full operational team from the ground up — recruiting, training, and managing every staff role as the practice scaled over 26 years.
Operational Continuity Maintained uninterrupted practice performance across 32 years including technology transitions, market changes, staff turnover, and ownership restructuring.
We work with dental practices and acquisition groups who understand that operational excellence is not a luxury — it is the difference between an investment that performs and one that doesn't.
