Met a dentist who has been in the same space for >20 years, bought the practice from another dentist also in the same space for >15 years. Nothing in the office <5 years old. several hundreds of patients but not many. Essentially take over and build the practice and pay versus production for a few years. I get the impression the owner will basically walk away if someone doesn't take it. Urban area. Schedule is two days per week. Any thoughts?

should probably ask this on dentaltown
 
Need some numbers before anyone can help out.
Gross production, overhead %, collections %. FFS? PPO?
Are the staff overpaid?
Can you add procedures that the selling doc didn't do?
Can you add new methods of advertising?
You can obviously add 2-3 days per week and increase production that way.

It a good idea to pay low for a low-production practice with potential, but you want to make sure it has potential.

Ask on dental town, with numbers.
