Summary:

​

The Rottman Group has been retained to find a Corporate Director of Marketing for US Oral Surgery Management (www.usosm.com). The Corporate Director of Marketing will be responsible for the planning, development, coordination and execution of all marketing initiatives and community relations activities for the US Oral Surgery Management partner surgeon practices. USOSM is the first Shared Service Organization (SSO) in the oral surgery space and is growing very quickly. The company is well funded by PE firms with sector experience and lead by experienced, quality executive leadership.  

 

Industry:

 

We are in another high growth phase in the physician practice management or shared services organization industry. With new SSOs emerging regularly, there are key factors to consider in making a choice to be a part of one.

​

• Is this the first time for either the executive leadership or the private equity backers to work in a physician practice model?

  • There are many trying to be in the physician SSO business, both as financial backers and as executive leaders. There are very unique dynamics and absolutely a learning curve for those who don’t have extensive experience in the physician space. You don’t want to suffer through either’s learning curve.

  • USOSM’s executive leadership and private equity partners both have extensive experience here.

• How crowded is this specific space?

  • Is this a mature sector? How many other suitors is this physician or group hearing from?

  • USOSM is the first in the oral surgery space. As a result, you’re able to benefit from the first-mover advantage vs. being one of the crowd.  

 

There are approximately 7,500 oral surgeons in the United States. It is a very fragmented market with 94% or all US oral surgeons operating independently. The oral and maxillofacial surgery market today is approximately $9 billion with an additional $5 billion in dental implant services.

 

Organization:

 

Just over a year old, USOSM is already a $100M organization. They anticipate doubling

this in 2019 and reaching $300M revenue in their third year of operation.

​

The initial USOSM platform was formed in November 2017 by RiverGlade Capital and

the Thurston Group through the combination of two oral surgery groups in Austin

and Dallas. The Thurston Group (www.thurstongroup.com) and RiverGlade Capital

(www.rivergladecapital.com) both have successful experience working in the practice

management sector across different specialties.

​

The initial two anchor practices consisted of 18 physicians in 17 locations. The

response has been very positive and USOSM has already grown to 11 groups consisting

of 41 physicians. There are multiple other groups in the development pipeline in a

multi-state area.

​

Another very important thing to point out about USOSM is that before the integration of practices, a full leadership team and infrastructure had been developed. They are not in a “fake it till you make it” mode or mentality. This is a very well thought out, well put together operation you can be proud to represent with confidence of competence.
