Vice President of Human Resources
US Oral Surgery Management
Dallas, TX

Summary:

​

The Rottman Group has been retained to find a Vice President of Human Resources for US Oral Surgery Management (www.usosm.com). This is a newly created position, part of succession planning as well as the growth and development of their human resources department.  This is an opportunity to be part of an outstanding organization; one setting the standard of success in how to build and develop a top-notch physician management organization.  

 

Organization:

​

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. 

 

US Oral Surgery Management (USOSM) was the first shared services platform for oral

surgeons. 

​

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 initial two anchor practices consisted of 18 physicians in 17 locations. Fast forward four years and USOSM has grown to 72 groups consisting of 222 physicians in 24 states with approximately 1,600 employees.  In 2021, USOSM completed a recapitalization with Oak Hill Capital (www.oakhill.com) valued at $700M+ and are poised to continue their pace of growth.  Since that time, 12 months later, USOSM is performing at month 20 of their plan.  This will likely accelerate the timeframe of their next recapitalization.  It is significant to note they have had ZERO physician turnover since their inception.  

​

Beyond a winning platform and model, USOSM has an outstanding leadership team with a very positive culture, spearheaded by Rick Hall, CEO. Rick is a very accomplished healthcare executive and has worked in the physician management space for the last 20 years.  Rick has assembled and led an outstanding team of people and is zealous about culture and organizational fit.  You will find there is no tolerance for big egos or corporate politics here.  

​

A 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 have not been 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 be a part of.  They have also been very cognizant of balancing the development side with the operations of the organization which has two Vice Presidents of Practice Integration.  This is a facet much of the provider management space has struggled with.  

​

For those that understand net promoter scores, USOSM has an NPS above 80 at all of their partner practices: https://www.usosm.com/usosm-partner-practices-achieve-world-class-net-promoter-scores/ 

 

This type of success doesn’t happen by mistake.  

 

With the company’s growth and success, this has naturally been a fast-paced environment.  From the very top with Rick Hall and consistent through the organization you’ll find a value-people culture.  Organizational chart lines are not rigid and this is a very-roll-up-the-sleeves, team-oriented environment.  

 

The Role:

 

During 2001, along with completing the recapitalization with Oak Hill Capital, USOSM added 26 new practices.  They will add over 20 again in 2022 and will continue that pace.  One of the things that happens in a “recap” year is that you run lean.  That included the human resources team.  With the partnering with Oak Hill Capital is the recognition of the need and support to invest in a more developed human resources team.  This has led to creating the Vice President of Human Resources role along with several other positions being added to the human resources department.  This is part of their investing in taking USOSM to the next level developmentally.
