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.
A year of retainer is one point on one deal — and one deal returns it several times over.
What We Run For Medical Platforms
Sentinel sources for retained buy-side partners — we never present ourselves as the buyer, and we never take the sell side. On a retained platform mandate the cadence runs 3–5 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 — written into the agreement and reported weekly. Our floor is higher than most firms' ceiling.
The Record · Alongside Partners
Deployed alongside partners since 2020
100+ closings since 2020, ranging from $800K to a single $96M acquisition, with $500M+ deployed alongside partners since 2020. Partner and platform identities are confidential by policy — named references available under protocol during your diligence.
From the Live Board
Straight from the live mandate board — anonymized by policy, criteria never softened. Your mandate can be live, sourced, and qualified within the week.
Adjacent healthcare services sourced in parallel for platform and PE partners.
General-practice hospitals for an acquisitive platform expanding coverage nationwide.
The engine is sector-agnostic; the depth points wherever your mandate does. On the board within the week — criteria locked, owners approached by name.
Pricing · Published Openly
Most firms in our category make you sit through a pitch before they will tell you that. We would rather you knew now and decided whether the math works. The full economics — against brokered deals and in-house hiring — are on the pricing page.
