Meet Karl Frye
A Decade of Dental Practice Expertise
Karl Frye started Frye Practice Sales after over a decade in commercial banking, where he specialized in healthcare M&A, helping doctors obtain the credit to start, grow, and sell their practices. He saw a gap in the market: dental practice owners needed a fiduciary broker who understood both the clinical and financial sides of a transition. So in 2015, he founded Frye Practice Sales.
Today, Karl has facilitated over 300 dental practice transactions across Arizona, California, Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Virginia, and beyond, ranging from single-doctor general practices to multi-site DSO platform acquisitions worth $14M+. Every client works directly with Karl from first conversation through closing day.
Karl’s practice sales span the country. He has closed transactions in Arizona, California, Texas, Colorado, Michigan, and Virginia — and evaluates opportunities in any market where he can deliver results for the seller.
Karl’s banking background gives him an edge that most brokers don’t have. He doesn’t just find a buyer. He structures deals that work for lenders, he catches financial red flags before they kill a deal, and he knows how to position a practice so it commands the price it deserves.
Now Serving California and Beyond
Arizona has been home base for over a decade. Now, Frye Practice Sales is bringing the same hands-on, results-driven brokerage to the California dental market. California is the largest dental market in the country, with higher average practice valuations, a deep pool of motivated buyers, and significant DSO acquisition activity. Karl’s approach, direct relationships, honest valuations, and personal service, is exactly what California practice owners have been missing.
