We've covered a lot of ground lately.

Different cities, great conversations, and plenty of time spent with the doctors and practice owners who make this industry what it is.

We're grateful for the relationships we continue to build and the opportunity to play a part in so many journeys.

Here's to finishing the year strong and making every conversation count! 💫

Your numbers tell you what happened. But do they tell you what to do next?

In this week’s episode of the Group Practice Accelerator, host Jamie West Falasz brings you the first in a collection of considerations as we approach year-end and prepare for a prosperous 2027. Along with expert guest Andrew Farrell, Founder of Farrell Financial, the pair explores how dental group leaders can look beyond the books and use financial strategy, data and intentional action to make smarter strategic decisions starting right now.

From understanding the true drivers of revenue to uncovering the difference between profit and cash flow, Andy shares why knowing your numbers is only the beginning. The real value comes from using them to forecast what’s ahead, identify monthly opportunities and challenges, and build a plan for sustainable growth.

Tune in to discover how a more forward-looking approach to financial planning can help group practice leaders turn numbers into strategy and strategy into results: https://www.polarishealthcarepartners.com/podcasts/premium-value-essentials-connecting-the-dots-between-your-numbers-and-your-next-move-with-andrew-farrell-founder-of-farrell-financial/

Interest rates and SOFR just moved again, and if you're thinking about growth or selling for top dollar, you’ll want to download this one.

In this week's episode of the Polaris Healthcare Partners' Group Practice Accelerator podcast, Jamie West Falasz and Diwakar Sinha break down the Fed's recent rate decision, what's happening with SOFR, and most importantly, what it means for growth, valuation and sale going forward.

Here's what we cover:
✅ A plain-English breakdown of the Fed's latest move and what it means for you
✅ How SOFR changes are affecting lending, deal structures, and cost of capital
✅ Why market fluctuations don’t necessarily equal lower valuations
✅ The specific things practice owners can control right now to stay positioned for a premium valuation, regardless of where rates go next

Markets shift. Smart preparation doesn't have to.

A few months ago, Polaris CEO Diwakar Sinha wrote about why 2026 could be a strong year for healthcare M&A. Capital was becoming more available, lenders were getting more competitive, and buyers were finding it easier to finance acquisitions.

Since then, we've continued watching one metric closely: SOFR.

The story is interesting: In 2020, SOFR was essentially 0%. By 2023, it reached 5.30%. By May 2026, it had fallen to 3.51%. Just a few months later, it moved to 3.62%, and following the Fed's latest action, jumped again to nearly 3.85%.

Forecasts now suggest it could approach 4.2% in early 2027.

Does that mean valuations are about to fall? No, but markets have a funny way of changing before most owners are prepared for them.

Two group practice owners who transact can receive the same headline multiple and walk away with dramatically different outcomes years later.

The difference is often in the structure, and how well it was understood and negotiated.

We’ve heard too many owners say years later, “I didn’t know.” And here’s the uncomfortable truth: sometimes the problem wasn’t only the deal. It was entering a sophisticated transaction without sophisticated representation.

Polaris CEO Diwakar Sinha unpacks it all in a new blog post: The Headline Valuation Rarely Tells the Whole Story. Read it here: https://www.polarishealthcarepartners.com/the-headline-valuation-rarely-tells-the-whole-story-why-the-advisor-you-choose-can-matter-as-much-as-the-multiple/

You know the content is hitting when the phones come out.

A little behind-the-scenes from Polaris Healthcare Partners CEO Diwakar Sinha’s session yesterday at the Dental Leadership Summit. We love to see the message resonate with dental leaders in the room.
