Our Story

Praxis has roots from more than 47 years ago in the heart of Oklahoma City. In 1977 a new practitioner in a major metropolitan market wasn’t concerned with computer-based patient management systems, revenue cycle management, the internet, digital marketing and online reputation management, competition from national chains along with a complex legal and compliance environment that nearly takes a law degree to navigate.

We’ve learned a lot through the ups and downs of building a recognized brand, and a DSO that now has 38 locations across Oklahoma, Missouri, Arizona and Texas. The most significant contribution to our success over the years has been the caliber of talented people we’ve been fortunate to work with. That is what led to the collaboration between Jack Waldo and Chris Cummings, and what ultimately inspired us to form Praxis Dental Transitions. With Praxis, we bring together all the experience, processes and relationships we’ve built through a leading DSO and partner with practice owners to build value through ex­cellent patient care, operational integrity, and proven business strategies.

Our vision is to redefine the standard of success in healthcare practice ownership, empowering our partners to achieve unprecedented growth and positively impact their communities all through The Praxis Partnership Approach developed right here in Oklahoma.
