We’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on two exceptional achievements within the Thurston Group at the Dykema DSO Conference!  First and foremost, a resounding congratulations to our visionary CEO and Chairman, Patrick J. Haynes III, as the well-deserved recipient of the Dental Titan Award. Pat’s unwavering dedication and exceptional contributions in the DSO arena continue to redefine leadership and elevate industry benchmarks. Notably, Pat’s involvement in the DSO space extends back to 2012 and has since grown 8 successful DSO platforms, making him one of the most active and successful investors in the industry. Additionally, Pat is credited with founding the specialty dental market as Thurston Group was the first private equity firm to invest in orthodontics (Smile Doctors), oral surgery (U.S. Oral Surgery Management), and endodontics (U.S. Endo Partners). Equally deserving of recognition is our accomplished Managing Director, Daniel Davis, whose insightful contributions enriched the panel discussion focused on the evolution of the PE-backed DSO industry. Dan specifically highlighted the rise of “super-GP’s,” general practitioners looking to expand their skill sets and service offerings through advancements in technology and education in implantology and other services. His expertise significantly contributes to shaping the strategic direction of the DSO industry. We extend our sincere gratitude to Dykema for curating an event that fosters collaboration and the exchange of knowledge among industry peers. A special thank you to Brian A. Colao, Director of the Dental Service Organizations Industry Group at Dykema, for hosting and for Dykema’s continued relationship with Thurston Group. It’s indeed a privilege to engage with fellow leaders and experts in such substantive conversations.
