Scott Law, DMD
FOUNDER AND CEO, SMILE DOCTORS
“I’ve continued to be impressed with the foresight and integrity of Thurston Group led by Pat Haynes. After having worked with them on several transactions they do what they say and they say what they do. That means so much to me and speaks volumes about their reputation for putting together the right people to execute on a vision and plan. This confidence to deliver exists because of their history of success and experience. It’s why I am grateful for my history with them and resultant financial rewards that have come to me and my family and it’s also why in full confidence I’ve referred my friends to Thurston Group.”

CEO, U.S. ORTHOPAEDIC PARTNERS
“Thurston Group had a great vision for orthopaedics. Their approach to building a platform required a lot of forward-thinking strategy as well as a significant commitment to resources.

These guys are about finding solutions and we could not be more happy with the results.”
