For MSOs & Medical Platforms · Direct Engagement

Your next clinic won't come from an auction. It comes from a call.

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

Every listed practice comes with an auction attached.

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

A dedicated origination engine on your buy box.

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.

01 · COVERAGE

Your market, mapped to the owner

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.

02 · QUALIFIED

Owner-verified before you see it

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.

03 · APPROVAL-GATED

You approve every name first

Every target is approved by you by name before any introduction. One target, one partner — your targets are never shopped to another buyer.

04 · GUARANTEED

In writing, not implied

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

$500M+

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.

Straight Answers

What medical platforms ask first.

Do you work beyond dental — MSOs, optometry, veterinary?
Yes. The engine is sector-agnostic: practice-based healthcare, veterinary, and adjacent owner-led services are sourced in parallel for platform and PE partners. A veterinary GP mandate and a practice-based healthcare mandate are on the live board now.
What does retained origination cost?
Sentinel charges $5,000 per month plus 4% on closings, month to month. A full year of retainer is roughly one percentage point on a single $6M transaction.
How do we know it's working?
20+ qualified owner calls in the first 90 days on high-velocity mandates — written into the agreement, reported weekly.
