ADSO announces new executive leadership team

ADSO members have elected Scotte Hudsmith as their president. Hudsmith is chairman and chief executive officer of Specialized Dental Partners.

In addition, Dustin Netral, chief executive officer of Vista Verde Dental Partners, will continue as vice president, and Justin Jory, founder and chief executive officer of Lightwave Dental, will continue as treasurer while also taking on the role of secretary.

“ADSO is thriving, with 75 members, more than 8,500 practice locations, 15,000 supported dentists and $18 billion in revenue,” ADSO CEO Andrew Smith said. “And our focus remains strong — to protect, promote and position the DSO industry and our members for continued success. I am confident our new executive leadership team will keep up our industry’s tremendous momentum, and I thank them for serving our members. ADSO and its members have made great strides in advocacy around license portability and payer reform and are pushing back against harmful legislation that will hinder both DSO growth and access to care for the people who need it most.”

Hudsmith said it is an “incredible honor to help continue this industry’s momentum and serve as president of the ADSO Executive Leadership team. I’m looking forward to helping spearhead the strategic direction of the ADSO at a time of tremendous expansion for both the organization and the broader DSO industry.”
