Dentists, Puns, and Money

Dr. Chong Shao is partner dentist of Jones County Family Dentistry, with locations in Anamosa and Monticello, IA.

Show Notes

Dr. Chong Shao spent his first four years as a dentist exploring multiple practice models in multiple states.

That experience helped shape his long-term vision and desire to own and operate two practices with his wife, Dr. Katie Nagel Chao, in small-town Iowa.

Listen to the latest episode of The Practice Growth Podcast to learn more about:
  • How Dr. Shao and his wife have split different dental procedures between practices to best suit their respective clinical interests and strengths.
  • The process of merging two different practices and staffs into one shared vision.
  • What Dr. Shao’s brief experience with mobile dentistry taught him about both patients and business.
Plus more.

What is Dentists, Puns, and Money?

Dentists, Puns, and Money is a podcast focused on two things: The financial topics relevant to dentists leaving clinical practice and the stories and lessons of dentists who have already done so.

1. The stories of dentists who have transitioned from full-time clinical dentistry.

2. The financial topics that are relevant for dentists making that transition.

If you’re a dentist thinking about your exit from clinical, and you’d like to learn from the experiences of other dentists who have made that transition, be sure to subscribe to your favorite podcast app.

Host Shawn Terrell also dives deep into the many financial components of exiting dentistry, including tax reduction strategies and how to live off your assets.

And, we try to keep it light by mixing in a bad joke… or two.

Please note: Dentists, Puns, and Money was previously known as The Practice Growth Podcast until March 2022.
