Orthodontic DSO providing clinical and operational support across the South
Southern Orthodontic Partners operates a multi-location orthodontic network in the Southern U.S., backed by Azure infrastructure (VMs, storage, networking, identity) and clinical software (Dentrix, Open Dental). The hiring mix skews heavily clinical (59 of 79 active roles), with acute pain around administrative scaling and reimbursement timing — typical for DSOs managing fragmented practice operations across independent provider locations.
