Since its founding, Specialty1 Partners has grown rapidly to become one of the largest private owners of specialty dental practices in the US. Headquartered in Houston, TX, Specialty1 Partners is led by its founders and a management team that is focused on ongoing growth and delivery of best-in-class services across its network of practices.
