Being an owner of a dental practice can sometimes feel like you’re on an island by yourself with no help in sight. One of my reasons for partnering with GPS was to have someone else with a vested interest in my practice…someone to bounce ideas off of, someone to help with staff and HR, and someone to help make my practice as profitable as possible. I’m a newer partner (roughly four months in), but I can say that the GPS team has already helped with all of this so far. This has allowed me to be able to delegate a lot of tasks and be able to go home to my wife and kids with less stress and more energy. From my first conversation with Hunter, I trusted his process and the legitimacy of the company. Every person that I’ve worked with so far has been sincere and personable. I think the sky is the limit as GPS continues to grow and I’m excited to be a part of it.

Partnering with GPS a few years ago has been a very positive thing for my practice! We were able to stabilize and continue our growth and become a more efficient and an overall more well-run practice almost entirely due to GPS’s management team. Me and my entire staff feel very well supported and yet completely autonomous to operate and practice freely. The entire GPS organization has really been next-level professional and experienced while always being prepared to help. The vision and leadership of the upper-level management team has been clear and concise, and the Arkansas central office staff has been amazing. Always on-point, professional, and kind. The organization’s continued growth has been impressive to watch develop and come on-line with the now nearly nation-wide network! My transition from solo-DDS private practice owner to GPS partner has benefited me both professionally and personally in many ways I am grateful for. It’s really a dream-job situation for me that has exceeded my expectations and I look forward to many more years of growing the partnership with GPS.

Partnering with GPS has been a great decision. After meeting Hunter and Will, we had faith that the model they had and were building was right for us, our staff, and our patients. Our gut told us that as dentists themselves, they were interested in building something special and doing it for the right reasons. GPS has supported us where we needed assistance while allowing our best systems to continue to grow our practice and serve our patients. We have continued to be impressed with the vision of the company and the well managed growth of not only the practices they support, but also the awesome team they continue to surround themselves with to support us!

Working with GPS has really allowed me the opportunity to tackle both aspects of my life....Dentist and Mom. I love coming to work, and being able to leave dentistry at the office, while heading home to be with my husband and kids. Providing outstanding dentistry is incredibly important to me as well, and GPS has provided me with the office, and tools to achieve that. In my 18th year as a dentist, I know that I made the right decision to join GPS!

Partnering with GPS has opened so many doors for me! Now that I don't have to worry about all of the back end pieces of the business, I am able to focus more on delivering the highest quality of care to my patients. Dr. Smith and Dr. Little knew when we partnered that I wanted to increase the orthodontic side of my practice and add 3D printing. In the first 12 months of our partnership we were able to reach both of these goals! I am so thankful that they valued what I had built with my patients and my team and that they honored where I wanted to take the business in the future. I could not have reached these goals so quickly, if it hadn't been for the partnership!

GPS has been great to work with, even as an associate/non-owner. They held an amazing continuing education event in Dallas with great content, fun social events, and delicious food.

I have been practicing in Wichita KS since the 80's. We recently merged with GPS and were thoroughly impressed by the kindness and professionalism of every member of the organization. Will and Hunter are scary smart, they put in the extra effort to keep things fair and worked 24/7 to bring value to our practice. I have also loved working with "quick start" individuals. Holly, Sarah, and Deana flew out and started our training before the contract was ever signed. Britney jumped on our marketing and website and is guiding us to productive changes, leaving out the fluff we spent too much money on in our past. Next thing we knew, Jennifer Remy drove to our office to train our financial team on how to switch us over to Alphaeon, which is helping our patients and our bottom line as well. Brian also converted over 70 computers to set up remote I.T. support. He was done with the three offices by 4:00PM, which is probably a record. Abigail in procurement has already shown us ways to cut back on spending with supplies. My partners Brett and Michael are younger than me, so I feel with an organization like GPS, they will be in a better spot when I exit. We are amazed with everyone we have come in contact with. Every individual has been knowledgeable and ready to help us in any way they can. Great experience. Thanks to all of you!

As a recent hire at a GPS practice, I was very impressed with the streamlined onboarding process. The helpfulness and attention to detail of the GPS staff enabled me to complete my paperwork quickly and focus on caring for GPD patients that much sooner.

My description of how joining with GPS has affected my practice and life is simple. It has been life-changing. Drs. Little and Smith said they want GPS to be only additive. They designed it to be a company that supports in areas which can help the practice while letting the practitioners do what we love to do, provide patient care. GPS has fulfilled that exactly. Certainly, the transition has required a lot of work from both their team and mine, but now we are all one team, GPS! I couldn’t be happier with my decision to become a part of the GPS family!

My previous partnership dynamics changed. With a retiring partner, it was time to consider all opportunities for my future. Partnering with GPS gave me the opportunity to continue building off the success of our practice and position ourselves well for future growth. Dr. Smith and Dr. Little have created an amazing culture of support. I feel confident in my financial and professional goals with them by my side.

I am transitioning out of ownership and heading for retirement soon. GPS has provided a safe and comfortable solution for me to maximize my investment and set up Dr. Maddox and our office for continued success in caring for our patients. Dr. Smith and Dr. Little have created a fabulous Support Team at GPS for Partners, doctors, and staff, that helps facilitate one of their best features-excellent communication. They have always met and many times exceeded expectations! For Balcones Family Dental, partnering with GPS was definitely the best choice we could make.

Being the first practice acquired by Southern Dental Group (GPS) back in 2015, I have had over seven years to know Dr. Smith and Dr. Little. I continually feel blessed to be part of this dental organization because, beforehand, I had heard mostly negative things about corporate dentistry. Dr. Smith and Dr. Little told me that since I had been successful, to just keep doing the same things and they would take the load off me on the non-dental part of the practice. Also, I no longer lay awake at night worrying about if something happened to me, and how difficult it would be for my wife to sell the practice. I love dentistry and I love doing it with GPS!

Being a partner with GPS has allowed me to have much more time to spend with my family. GPS has been great in supporting our office; I can truly "leave work at work". Just being able to have the peace of mind that I have such great support allows me to really enjoy all the special moments with my family. Issues happen, but with GPS, we can resolve them efficiently without putting all the stress onto my team or myself. As a partner, I look forward to the future and to seeing how prosperous and caring GPS can grow.

Merging with GPS two years ago has been a full steam ahead, never look back move that I’m confident in every day.

As a new partner to GPS, I finally feel like I have found a community of like-minded dentists, that are focused on patient care, employee satisfaction, and clinical autonomy. I was a former partner of another DSO, the difference is night and day. I couldn't be happier with my decision to join the company.

Since becoming one of the first practices to partner with GPS, it's been amazing to see the growth of the company and more importantly how true to their word Hunter and WIll have been from the start. They said from the beginning to take care of our patients and do what we love while they work tirelessly to make anything needed run efficiently in any and all aspects of dentistry. The GPS team has always been there for any of our practice needs and make sure what is requested is completed. I get to do what I love without worrying about some of the more stressful aspects of dentistry. Best career decision I have ever made!
