PDS Health

PDS Health, formerly Pacific Dental Services, is a healthcare company that provides dental and medical providers with operational expertise, technology, and support to deliver connected, patient-centered care. Founded in 1994 by Stephen E. Thorne IV, the company evolved from a single dental practice to a national organization, and in 2024 rebranded to PDS Health to reflect its expansion into integrated care.

PDS Health's story began with a single dental practice in Southern California, where founder Stephen E. Thorne IV saw the challenges clinicians faced. In 1994, he launched Pacific Dental Services with the idea of giving dentists the support they need to lead clinically and build thriving, patient-centered practices. Over the next three decades, Pacific Dental Services transformed dental support, scaling across the country. In 2024, the company evolved from Pacific Dental Services to PDS Health, a healthcare company rooted in dentistry and leading the shift toward integrated, whole-person care.
