About Dodaro Advisory Group

Dr. Dodaro built his career at the intersection of frontline medicine and healthcare leadership, where the gap between how care is designed and how patients actually behave becomes impossible to ignore. As an Emergency Medicine physician and former CEO in a value-based care environment, he spent years working inside the system—seeing firsthand how breakdowns in access, communication, and follow-through drive unnecessary emergency department visits, lost revenue, and poor patient experiences.

That perspective shapes how the team at DAG approaches consulting work today. We focus on the operational realities that sit beneath the data—what happens when a patient calls a practice and can't get through, when a same-day need goes unmet, or when a care plan fails to translate into action. These moments are where cost, utilization, and trust are truly determined. Rather than treating these as isolated issues, we work with organizations to redesign the systems that drive them—across access, care navigation, and clinical operations.

DAG's experience spans at-risk provider groups, health systems, and payer-aligned models, with a consistent focus on unscheduled care, patient flow, and site-of-care optimization. We have led and advised initiatives that reduce avoidable ER utilization, improve patient engagement, and recapture care that would otherwise leak outside the network. Increasingly, this work also includes helping organizations apply AI in a practical, governed way—focused not on technology adoption for its own sake, but on measurable operational leverage.

At DAG, we approach every engagement with a bias toward execution. The goal is not to deliver a strategy document, but to help organizations implement changes that alter real-world behavior—among patients, care teams, and systems—and produce durable results. That often means working across clinical, operational, and financial stakeholders to align incentives, define clear protocols, and build processes that can be measured, sustained, and scaled.
