The office has 5 ops, paperless, digital, gross production of $515,000, equipment
is 5-7 years old. The dentist had this practice for 12 years. It is an FFS/PPO

Yes,
though it’s way too early to even worry about that now.You need to gather all the necessary information to do a proper assessment of
the asking price and the performance of the practice. THEN you can get into
