This week’s issue marks the 100th edition of DSOPro. In 2021, DSOPro was conceived as a way to celebrate Dental Support Organization and dental industry leaders and communicate important dental group practice news to an engaged audience. Allison Walker, Editor & Chief Content Creator, has done an incredible job capturing these DSO influencers’ insights through her long-form interviews.
DSOPro was established to highlight both the challenges and creative solutions that DSOs and DSO dentists encounter on a daily basis. Partners Bill Neumann, Jim Shavel, and Allen Schwartz have a wealth of publishing experience and a deep knowledge of the DSO market. Bill Neumann is the co-founder of Group Dentistry Now and Jim Shavel and Allen Schwartz are the co-founders of Dynamic Data Solutions, the parent company for DSO DataCONNECT.
We are proud of what the team at DSOPro has accomplished in a relatively short time. The DSOPro newsletter brings together the best of Group Dentistry Now’s content and Allison Walker’s writing and interview style. Furthermore, DSOPro leverages the power of DSO DataCONNECT’s powerful data platform to target relevant content and deliver it to the most influential DSO industry stakeholders.
Launched in April 2022 with editions sent to our 20,000 engaged readers in the DSO market, the DSOPro weekly e-newsletter became instantly popular. Developed as a sister publication to Group Dentistry Now and in partnership with DSO DataCONNECT, topic-specific issues focus on Technology, Recruitment, Procurement, Happenings, and Dental Hygiene.
