As a result, the largest network of over 2,000 facilities was created in Central and Eastern Europe, both partner and franchise ones. In 2008, Karol Piasecki and his team implemented the first e-commerce platform on the pharmacy market based on the click & collect model. Currently, doz.pl online pharmacy is the largest and the most modern Polish health portal.

Between 2011 and 2019, Karol Piasecki served as the Managing Director of Dr. Max, increasing the company's sales more than ten times as well as creating one of the largest pharmacy chains in the country. After the recovery plan had been carried out, the pharmacy network went on to expand dynamically on the Polish market and in 2014-2018 the number of facilities increased by over 500. In 2019, as determined by Forbes, Dr. Max was ranked 5th among the most valuable brands in health care and at the same time it was recognized the most valuable pharmacy brand in Poland.
