For MSOs & Medical Platforms · Direct Engagement
Brokered listings mean auctions — every consolidator in the market bidding on the same practice. Sentinel is the retained buy-side engine behind acquisitive medical platforms: we approach owner-led practices by name, off-market — practice-based healthcare, optometry, veterinary — qualify them against your buy box, and put you alone at the table.

Auctions vs. Proprietary Flow
By the time a practice reaches a broker, the seller's fee is priced in and every consolidator in the market sees the same deal. The platforms that grow fastest own the top of their funnel — proprietary conversations with owners who weren't for sale yesterday. That funnel is what we build and run for you.
The retainer typically repays itself on the first closed deal — and the exact numbers take one five-minute call.
Quick answer
For MSOs and medical consolidators, Sentinel originates off-market practice acquisitions matched to your specialty, geography and size criteria — owner-verified before introduction.
Key takeaways
What We Run For Medical Platforms
Sentinel sources for retained buy-side partners — we never present ourselves as the buyer, and on your mandate we act for you alone — never for the seller. On a retained platform mandate the cadence we build to runs 2–5 qualified calls a week, 1–3 LOIs a month, and 4–10 closings a year — per platform.
We build the full owner universe for your buy box — practice-based healthcare, optometry, veterinary, and adjacent owner-led services — and approach owners by name, off-market. No broker listings.
Every submission is a practice whose owner confirmed the criteria and said yes to a meeting — revenue, payor mix, transition posture verified on the call.
Every target is approved by you by name before any introduction. One target, one partner — your targets are never shopped to another buyer.
20+ qualified calls in the first 90 days and reported weekly. Our floor is higher than most firms' ceiling.
