So, if one lives in Florida,we’re going to Florida; if a doctor/partner we like lives in California, we’re going to California.” Villanueva adds that finding potential doctor/ partners is a relatively easy process.“In terms of sourcing,we probably have the largest proprietary deal flow in the industry because of our doctor in- volvement,”he avers.“Because our doctors are part- ners, and they’re aligned professionally and finan- cially to grow the organization,we have access to fellow doctors,more so than brokers or headhunt- ers.A lot of our growth comes fromword-of-mouth. When a doctor transitions with us and speaks highly of the partnership, normally that begets manymore deals and that’s where we are today.Honestly,we have more deals than we can handle,many times, ATAGLANCE MB2 Dental Solutions WHAT: A dental management and practice development company WHERE: Carrollton,Texas WEBSITE: www.mb2dental.com
