  • Honest roadmap for dental owners. Dr. George Hariri's Ask George episode on the lonely reality of practice ownership was refreshingly honest about imposter syndrome and the hard early years. Practical, candid guidance for any dentist on the path to owning a practice.

    Their business practices are questionable and I wouldn’t take their advice if you want to be an ethical dentist. There are much better practices to work with.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shared Practices: Dr. Katelyn Miller’s $2M Startup Journey
Q: So how do you set boundaries on texting after hours and asking questions, or even just sending funny memes? Do you respond after hours unless it's a total emergency?
Miller says her team contacts her outside work only for urgent matters. She also encourages giving patient concerns time to settle before calling back, since many do not turn out to be emergencies.
Shared Practices: Dr. Katelyn Miller’s $2M Startup Journey
Q: Do you remember the steps we took and that feeling of transitioning and like, okay, it's time to start looking for an associate?
Miller recalls being clinically maxed out and needing to build enough patient demand and production for an associate, while also making time for managerial and business responsibilities.
Generic IT vs Industry-Specific Dental Support with Josh Wallace of IT Harbor
Q: What makes dental practices different from other industries that IT Harbor serves?
Dental practices have unique hardware and software needs, rapidly evolving technology like 3D imaging and CBCT, and a high priority on uptime and cybersecurity; IT Harbor tailors its approach to these nuances, offering agnostic product guidance, proactive monitoring, and on-demand support to reduce the typical IT pain points in dentistry.
The Dental Menu Factor: Elevating Patient Retention and Practice Profitability
Q: What are the core differences between a DIY discount plan and a branded membership plan, and why should a practice consider outsourcing the administration?
DIY discount plans often become administratively burdensome, with frequent renewals and unclear revenue recognition. Outsourcing provides a branded, fully managed membership solution with proper billing integration, standardized terms, and a focus on retention, better pricing structures, and more consistent revenue.
The Anchor Dentist Plan That Can Unlock a $4–5M Dental Practice | Nate
Q: What has Nate tried with associates, and what were the outcomes?
Nate has tried five different associates since 2021, with a mix of maternity leaves, culture-fit issues, and productivity problems; several left due to not meeting the long-term needs, highlighting a need for better selection and onboarding.
