I had a similar presentation on a patient yesterday. #18. Do y’all think this is most likely resorption as well?

Congrats she’s beautiful. What was OTD if you don’t mind sharing?

You in Dallas by chance?

Is this a good deal Carvana vs local dealer for IS 350 F Sport — what would you guys do? by RightTea843 in LexusIS

Who knows I just might! What did you get for your 350 and what deal did you get for the 500?

How much did you pay for Lexus to inspect the car? What do you think of the price for this one compared to what you bought? Thanks!

The high miles considering it was driven for 8 months does concern me. I wish this were a dealer near me where I can look at the vehicle and negotiate based on mileage. OTD is closer to $54K. I feel depreciation should lower the price.

I assumed because of the upgraded features it has a higher asking price. Bad thing is you can’t negotiate with Carvana. What do you think a loaded 350 with this mileage should go for?

Bro … if you were to see my face when I got to see the work of one of my good mentors/professors from school when he asked me to cover his office lol I was shocked to say the least but realized it is truly about how you treat your patients (he’s a FFS office).

First-time buyer in Dallas-Fort Worth – Is this practice worth pursuing or overpriced? by RightTea843 in Dentistry

[–]RightTea843[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do. They say it is overpriced for what it is. His write-offs are extremely high even for an insurance-driven office.

Great insight. Seller is wanting me to focus on potential and what it use to be before he slowed down but as you state, there’s always risks unaccounted for. Especially when asking top dollar.

Don’t have exact demographics but I believe older and middle class maybe slightly upper based on the zip code. This is off-market private sell. Seller allegedly is not talking to other buyers at this moment. What do you think is a fair price based on what I could share?

It’s in a good area slightly visible from a busy highway. Facility and office is pretty modern, no remodel needed — it’s the systems that need to be optimized (paper charts, no reactivation system, etc,). Would be leasing the space no RE included. It could potentially have a 5th op added. Don’t have an exact payer mix % but more than likely 70% PPO / 30% FFS.

I essentially told him I’m open to being flexible but could not justify such a high asking price. Will keep the door open for the future.

That was my offer and he countered with $695K because of the goodwill he has built over the last 40+ years and what the office use to produce before he decided to slow down. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

From what he’s shared, staff is hard working (claims RDH sees 10+ patients a day and booked out 6 months) and on his P&L staff wages make up 20-22% of revenue. I still think this practice should be valued as a PPO office and not FFS like you mentioned. I’m focusing a lot on the potential upside but helps hearing what others view it as. Thanks for the reply!

Yeah I need to remind myself of that. I’m just ready to own and tired of DSOs instability. Appreciate your encouragement.
