Institutional/publicWhat this status means
The public organization type identifies a health center, school, hospital, government clinic, or another institutional provider. It is reported outside private ownership categories.
DoctorOwned does not treat the absence of a known DSO signal as proof of dentist ownership. Public records can be incomplete, delayed, or filed under a legal entity name.
