Скачать или смотреть Is Buying a Dental Practice Still Worth It?

In this episode, Ash discusses the evolving landscape of dental practice ownership, particularly whether it’s still worth buying or starting a dental practice. Ash explains that the decision is much more nuanced than it was a decade ago. Factors such as market saturation, shrinking reimbursement rates, and increased competition from DSOs and PE-backed practices mean that buying or starting a practice requires extensive research and self-reflection. The conversation covers challenges unique to both startups and acquiring existing practices, including location selection, identifying business models, and coping with the demands of being both a clinician and a business owner.

He also addresses the realities of working with DSOs, selling a practice, and the trade-offs of joining larger organizations versus independent ownership. He also talks about why it's important to understand your career goals, personality fit, and risk tolerance amidst a shifting generational mindset and increasing concern about burnout.
