Shared Practices | Your Dental Roadmap through Practice Ownership

Welcome back to Practice Underwater, where Dr. George Hariri sits down with Scuba Steve to unpack the operational hurdles every dentist faces when transforming a chaotic clinic into a thriving enterprise.

Despite growing collections from a $500,000 baseline to a $1.3 million yearly pace, this dentist's journey into dental practice ownership reveals aesthetic challenges, missing systems, and team misalignment.

They debate essential dental practice management tactics, highlighting how an intentional team reset can foster sustainable dental practice growth and shift the administrative load away from the dentist.

This is a must-listen for any dentist navigating the associate to owner transition who wants to finally fall in love with their clinic.

In this episode:

- Overcoming aesthetic hurdles in a historical building without a dedicated consult room.
- Scaling collections from a $500,000 baseline to a $1.3 million yearly pace.
- Transitioning a mature team toward a comprehensive, fee-for-service vision.
- Hosting a strategic office reset meeting to acknowledge progress and align future goals.
