In today’s competitive OMS landscape, picking a partner you can trust with the next phase of growth and success for your practice couldn’t be more important. It’s a decision we think should be based on shared values – like Integrity, Grace, Service, and Care.
We don’t settle for anything less in the partners we choose, and we believe you shouldn’t either.
At Allied OMS, these are more than just the words we use to describe our approach to partnership. They are the founding principles we live by every day in our work with our doctors, their teams, and their patients. They are the cornerstone of our unique Doctor Equity™ model and our doctor-led governance model, including the industry’s only doctor-majority board of directors.
Taken together, Allied’s Words to Live By tells the story of our distinctive approach to partnership. Hear Allied OMS doctors and members of the board discuss what these words mean to them, and the difference it made in their decision to join the Allied family.
We’ll feature a new word each month throughout 2024.
January
Integrity; Dan Hosler, CEO
“As I think about words that we live by in serving our doctor partners, the first that comes to mind is integrity. While it goes by many definitions, to me, integrity means acting our values, truthfully, even when no one is looking. Our core tenets – alignment of interests amongst all our stakeholders, transparency into the private equity and MSO business models, and better economics for our doctor partners – all guide our approach to partnership, and integrity means always marrying our intentions and actions with those values.”
February
Grace; Dr. David Kostohryz, Founding Doctor
“At Allied OMS, we embody grace by treating patients, staff, and colleagues with kindness and compassion. As oral surgeons, we combine our healing abilities with a servant’s heart, practicing grace in our work, and collectively our business model is rooted in grace – a shared pursuit of charity, fairness, transparency, and honesty in our relationship with all of our patients, staff, and our doctor partners.”
March
Data; Ryan Graham, COO
“Data is fundamental to every decision we make at Allied OMS. We’re maniacal in how we analyze data so it can help us optimize processes across our platform, improve overall operational efficiency and effectiveness, and, ultimately, drive better patient care. By unlocking data buried in our practices, analyzing and benchmarking, and then visualizing the results, our doctors can more efficiently manage their practices and, in turn, spend more time delivering exceptional patient care.”
April
Outcomes; Dr. Jonathon Jundt, Founding Doctor and Chief Medical Officer
“Meaningful outcomes data incorporates a multifactorial approach. An approach that includes information about the patient, provider, facility, and product manufacturers yields greater insight into the reasons behind variation in outcome.”
May
Growth; Dr. Vicente Chavez, Board Member
“I define Growth as a maturation process that improves one’s life. In my personal life, staying active and living in a way that balances the mind, body, and spirit helps me grow. Professionally, growth to me means learning from every procedure I perform and honing my surgical skills to provide better outcomes for my patients. Having Allied as a partner allows me to focus more on my personal and professional Growth, thereby bringing daily enrichment to my practice.”
June
Transparency; Brian Hamilton, Chief Development Officer
“Our approach to partnership is rooted in Transparency. From the very first conversation we have with doctors, we are open and honest about what partnership with Allied OMS looks like now and in the future. We teach doctors about the private equity business model, we walk them through every material term of the partnership, because we want to ensure they make the right choice for their practice and their patients — whether or not they choose to partner with Allied OMS.”
July
AI; Dr. Jonathon Jundt, Founding Doctor and Chief Medical Officer
“We are regularly evaluating how we can utilize Artificial Intelligence to improve the lives of our doctors and their patients. Whether it’s utilizing AI-driven imaging systems to improve the precision of our surgical procedures, integrating AI tools into our administrative processes to streamline appointment scheduling, patient follow-ups, and data management, or leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms to enhance diagnostic accuracy and develop tailored treatment plans for our patients, at Allied OMS we believe AI can help facilitate better outcomes, faster recovery times, and enhance overall efficiency and quality of our care.”
August
Partnership; Dr. Brent Dingman, Board Member
“Partnership is at the core of everything we do at Allied OMS and within my practice. Whether it’s collaborating with those in the Allied network to shape the future of our industry or working closely with my team and patients to deliver exceptional care, true success comes from a shared commitment to excellence. This same spirit of partnership extends to the relationships I build with my patients. Understanding their needs and working together to achieve the best possible outcomes is what drives me every day.”
September
Care; Dr. Thai Vuu, Memorial Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
“To me, ‘care’ means delivering exceptional, personalized treatment to every patient, ensuring they feel supported and understood during each step of their surgical journey. As part of Allied OMS, my practice is able to provide enhanced care by collaborating with our network of doctors focused on clinical excellence, enabling us to stay at the forefront of innovation and provide the best possible outcomes for our patients.”
October
Benefits; Dan Hosler, CEO
“At Allied OMS, benefits mean more than just healthcare and retirement plans. We are committed to supporting our doctors, their staff, and their growth both personally and professionally, by creating an environment where they can advance their careers, care for their families, and strengthen their practices. We invest in our practices’ futures so that they can be the foundation for their patients and their teams.”
November
Service; Dr. Prabh Grewal, Corona Oral Surgery & Implant Center, Chino Hills Oral Surgery
“Service to me means going above and beyond to meet the needs of our clients, partners, and community. It’s about actively listening, anticipating needs, and delivering with excellence. In our practice, service drives every interaction, ensuring that our patients receive the highest level of care and attention. It’s the cornerstone of our commitment to partnership, guiding us to prioritize transparency, communication, and collaboration in all that we do.”
