A buyer-only platform for practice acquisitions.
Practice Directions is built for dentists who want independent guidance before, during, and after a practice purchase. We represent buyers only, not sellers or DSOs, so our job is to help you think clearly about practice quality, value, risk, and fit rather than to push any particular deal to closing.
From the first practice you consider through due diligence and early ownership, the goal is the same: help you make a better decision, with better information, and a more organized process.
Help for buyers at every stage.
Whether you are just starting to look or preparing to sign an LOI, there is a clear way to work together.
Deep Dive Analysis
A one-practice financial and valuation review before you commit. You get an independent second set of eyes on the numbers, a grounded value range, practical cash-flow commentary, and a written summary plus review call.
Full Buyer Representation
Hands-on support from target practice through LOI, due diligence, and early transition planning. This includes structured analyses, offer thinking, coordination with your attorney, CPA, and lender, and an organized due diligence and rollout process.
How It Works
A simple, staged process: initial conversation, early analysis, offer and LOI posture, due diligence coordination, and first-90-days transition planning, tailored to where you are in the journey.
Ohio-first focus
The current version of PracticeDirections.com is focused on Ohio buyers and Ohio practices, with a roadmap to expand into additional states once the Ohio model is proven.
Listings and tools that stay buyer-aligned.
You get access to a structured classifieds board and practical tools that support both sides of the table while keeping representation squarely on the buyer side.
For buyers
- Ohio-focused listings for practices and associate opportunities, with more states planned as the platform grows.
- Standardized listing information and Dropbox-based document folders so you can review opportunities more efficiently after NDA.
- An educational value estimator that helps you frame price and expectations before a full valuation or offer.
For FSBO sellers
Practice Directions does not act as the seller’s broker, but we do provide tools to help private owners create more credible listings. These include structured templates, a listing checklist, Dropbox upload guidance, and an educational estimator so you can present your practice in a clearer, more organized way to qualified buyers.
A practical starting point for value conversations.
The Practice Directions Value Estimator is a spreadsheet-based tool that gives an educational estimate range for dental practice pricing using your inputs and market-style benchmarks. It is designed to help both buyers and FSBO sellers frame expectations and price discussions, without replacing a formal CVA-level valuation or creating a seller-representation relationship.
Education that makes ownership feel more manageable.
Complex transitions are easier when the path is explained clearly. The Resources section brings together the Dental Practice Buying Playbook, practical guides, articles, and answers to common questions, all aimed at helping hesitant or DSO-accustomed dentists see a realistic path into ownership.
Why buyers work with Practice Directions.
Practice Directions is led by Corey Young, a former practicing dentist, dental and veterinary practice broker, and CVA credentialed valuation professional. The advisory model combines front-end judgment on practice quality and pricing with increasingly systematized, AI-assisted workflows for due diligence, credentialing, and early transition work, so your decision is driven by both experience and organized process.
- Exclusive focus on buyers, not dual representation.
- Clear service tiers and transparent pricing.
- Deep familiarity with real-world practice operations and lender expectations.
