Schulman Group

The Schulman Group began as a study group in the 1980s. It reformed in 2018 as a member-owned dental support organization (DSO) for orthodontists who practice in the U.S. At the time of reorganization, there were 110 founding members. The organization is administered by SG Management LLC. Guided by its unique "Success Through Sharing" philosophy, there are 147 members representing 116 practices and more than 300 office locations in 46 states. Schulman Group members are among the top 2 percent of orthodontic specialists in the U.S. Geographically based, and with a commitment to excellence in patient care, each member is an equal shareholder in the DSO and contracts for non-clinical services to create efficiencies and cost savings for his/her independently-owned practice. As a DSO, the Schulman Group uses its collective purchasing power to provide shareholders with competitive pricing and services through preferred supplier agreements and non-clinical practice management solutions.
