Downtown Dental eventually partnered with private equity where it grew to two locations and over $8M in revenue. Dr. Patel subsequently joined the DSO leadership team to help facilitate growth of the DSO from a handful of dental practices to over 22 locations.  As a serial entrepreneur, he has also invested in commercial dental real estate properties, and has a deep understanding of the business of dentistry along with the process of scaling a dental practice. In addition to his dental expertise, he is also an owner of Sunlogix, a large Solar Company in California that has scaled to over $10M in revenue in less than two years.
