The Role of DSOs in a Dynamic Dental Industry: Kim Larson and Bill Neumann, Co-Founders of Group Dentistry Now

Believe it or not, Dr. Anushka Gaglani and Dr. Abhishek Nagaraj are NOT the only married couple in the dental field that hosts a podcast! Today’s guests, Kim Larson and Bill Neumann, are co-hosts of the top-ranked Group Dentistry Now podcast where they and their guests share the latest news, trends and insights in the space.What makes them so effective as hosts is the deep understanding of the industry they’ve gained over the last decade running the multimedia company they co-founded, also called Group Dentistry Now, which provides news, education, product information, consulting, and other services to DSOs and dental group practices. As Kim explains, one reason they launched the company is they realized there was a lack of information about DSOs, and what was available cast them in a very negative light. “But the more I researched it, I thought, there's so much good that they are doing to help with patient access and clinical training that isn't being shared, so it really became our mission to start a company that would help explain DSOs and groups to people,” says Kim. They’re also focused on keeping people up to date in a rapidly changing industry. “There are more options than ever for dentists looking to transition, to sell their practice, to form a partnership with an organization. If we don't pay attention to that, you'll get left behind pretty quickly,” adds Bill.

On this episode of Filling You In, you’ll also hear these trusted voices in the dental industry discuss: 

• Their expectations for the pace of practice consolidation;
• The course on DSOs they developed for the largest dental school in the US;
