In this episode of Dental Success: Beyond Chairside, I’m joined by Dr Ash Patel from Peel Orthodontics. When Ash first took over the practice, it was a small, part-time operation with just two staff members. Today, it has grown into a full-time practice with a larger team and multiple associates—all while maintaining a strong focus on patient care.
Scaling a practice isn’t just about increasing patient numbers. It takes the right systems, leadership, and processes to maintain quality while supporting sustainable growth. In this conversation, Ash shares how he managed the challenges of expansion and what’s really involved in building a strong, well-run practice.
We discuss:
✅ The Role of Systems in Scaling – How structured processes create consistency and efficiency as a practice grows.
✅ Maintaining Quality While Expanding – Strategies for ensuring high standards of patient care as your team and operations grow.
✅ Building a Strong Team – The importance of hiring, training, and leadership in practice success.
Key Highlights:
✨ From Small Team to Full-Time Practice – Ash’s journey from a two-person team to a thriving multi-associate practice.
✨ Why Systems Matter – How implementing the right processes can reduce stress and improve outcomes.
✨ Scaling Without Losing Control – Tips on managing growth while keeping patient care a top priority.
