Long-term partnership for critical services providers
Pathway for your business to transition to the next generation
Next Kin Partner provides financial and operational support to independent owner-doctors for succession planning. Our doctor-first approach keeps your teams and the relationships that made the practice trusted, then invests carefully in its next chapter.

What we build and operate

The principal
Khang Nguyen · Principal
I grew up in San Diego, California, and have always been drawn to building businesses from the ground up. Previously, I spent over a decade in investment banking and private capital, focusing on growth investments and partnering with family-owned and owner-operated businesses entering their next chapter.
During that time, I was introduced to many healthcare services platforms and management services and dental support organization models (MSO/DSO) in medicine and dentistry. Despite the growing number of MSOs and DSOs, many independent practices still close each year because they lack a transition pathway. Typical platform buyers require a level of scale and systems maturity that many independent practices do not have. Meanwhile, many associate doctors want to own a practice but lack the management experience or upfront capital to take over from a retiring doctor-owner. Those conversations led me to co-found KinDentists, a DSO that helps smaller independent practices with strong community goodwill transition to entrepreneurial next-generation dentist-partners.
I went to UC Berkeley and received a B.S. in Industrial Engineering & Operations Research and a B.A. in Economics. Outside of work, you'll usually find me fly fishing, rock climbing, or hiking with my partner.
