Corporate vs. Private Practice: Why It Matters

By Dr. Brian Thomas • October 25, 2025

In Florida, many dental offices are now owned by large investment corporations. In these offices, doctors are often employees who rotate in and out.

Thomas Orthodontics is 100% privately owned by Dr. Brian Thomas.

Why does this matter? Orthodontics is a long-term process. You need a doctor who remembers your specific plan, not someone reading your chart for the first time. We value relationships over volume. You aren't a number here; you are part of the family.
