TUSK Partners (“TUSK”), the premier dental-focused M&A Advisor, advised Lane Perio in its affiliation with SGA Dental Partners, a portfolio company of Thurston Group. The transaction was led by Yazen Abusad, Associate of Mergers & Acquisitions at TUSK Partners. Alex Cherniavsky and Sam Lupton spearheaded the diligence and analytics efforts for TUSK.
Under the leadership of Dr. John Lane, Lane Perio is a leading periodontal group in Alabama. With two clinic locations, Lane Perio has provided first-class dental care to tens of thousands of patients in its surrounding community.
Dr. John Lane, owner of Lane Perio, commented, “I am thrilled with the process the TUSK team conducted with the sale of my practice. I can’t imagine how stressful it would have been to go through this process without the guidance of the TUSK team. I was able to achieve double what I initially believed my practice to be worth thanks to the team’s expertise and skill set. TUSK was the best investment I’ve made to ensure I exited at the top and found the partner who understood my desire for clinical autonomy. I am looking forward to the beginning of the partnership with SGA Dental Partners.”
Richard Thompson, director of mergers and acquisitions at SGA Dental Partners shared, “Dr. Lane has built a great set of practices focused on providing top-of-line dental care to the Northern Alabama region. We are excited to welcome Dr. Lane and the Lane Perio team to SGA Dental Partners.”
