Fresh off the Smile Doctors Annual Doctor Meeting, I had to share what I’ve been hearing and what the facts actually say.
There’s a lot of noise out there about OSOs being unsustainable. You've probably heard it too: “It’s all going to collapse once the equity turns happen and the doctors retire.”
Well, that’s just not true, and in this 5-minute Friday, I’m telling you why.
7 out of the 10 top-performing practices in the Smile Doctors network are associate-run. Not only are these organizations more stable than critics claim, but many of us, including myself, have no plans to retire anytime soon. Why? Because we still love what we do.
I also talk about the emotional versus factual divide in these conversations and share why so many people are misled by loud voices with hidden agendas. If you want to better understand the landscape, you need to hear this.
🎧 Give it a listen and get the truth about OSOs minus the fear, plus the facts.
