Who is DPG?

 

In 7th grade, two eleven year old boys met and formed a friendship that has lasted nearly 30 years. The secret to creating our lifelong bond is the unwavering trust we have in each other. Although we initially engaged in separate career paths, we spoke frequently of starting our own company together.  We were very fortunate to have worked for Mars, Inc. and CVS Pharmacy respectively. During that time we acquired a diverse and useful set of skills that we now utilize daily to help dental practices reach their goals. In July, 2013 we left our corporate positions and founded DPG.
 
DPG is a dental specific Group Purchasing Organization (GPO). It was started on the premise that “Together We Could Achieve More”. It may seem at times that everyone has competing business interests. Members of DPG enjoy the benefits of working together.  As DPG membership continues to grow nationally, we possess the ability to shape the industry in ways not previously possible. Short term change includes better pricing models. Long term change includes having enough members as part of DPG to improve reimbursement rates, leading to more accessible oral healthcare and ultimately the patient’s ability to choose their dentist.
 
DPG is committed to working on your behalf to identify cost saving solutions everywhere your practice writes a check. We are equally committed to fostering opportunities for our vendor partners. This synergy promotes a sustainable growth model for both independent practices and DPG vendor partners. Working together allows us to achieve greater results. We look forward to having you join the DPG family. Imagine the possibilities…
