What can a medical practice valuation calculator tell you?

Every serious buyer in healthcare — PE platforms, DSOs, MSOs, hospital systems — prices a practice as a multiple of adjusted EBITDA, so that is what a good calculator models: enterprise value equals adjusted EBITDA times the specialty multiple. The adjustment step matters more than most owners expect. Adjusted EBITDA strips out above-market owner compensation, personal expenses run through the practice, family on payroll, and one-time costs, and it is often materially higher than the book number — owners anchored on reported profit routinely underprice themselves. The multiple then depends on specialty and scale. Dental practices trade at 5x to 8x for single-location and add-on deals and 9x to 12x for multi-location groups and platforms, per FOCUS Investment Banking's dental EBITDA data. Physical therapy clinics run 5x to 7x at single locations and 7x to 9x for platforms with $1M+ in EBITDA. Across specialties, platform deals trade roughly 3 to 5 turns higher than add-ons — scale is the single biggest lever on the multiple, ahead of anything you change inside the four walls. What a calculator cannot do: it will not price your growth rate, payer-mix quality, provider concentration, real estate, or deal structure, which is why the real number can land one to three turns from the midpoint. Sorso's free practice valuation calculator applies these specialty bands to your revenue and EBITDA in about a minute, no email required. If the range surprises you — or an unsolicited offer is already on the table — that is the point to commission a formal valuation, which typically runs $5K to $25K, or talk to a CFO who has run these deals.
