What Every Orthodontist MUST Know About Private Equity
Manage episode 437023284 series 2499378
In the last few 5-minute episodes, I have talked mostly about private equity in orthodontics, practice growth, and financial projections.
Undoubtedly, these are topics that elicit a lot of reactions. I want to clarify several key distinctions.
Orthodontics is a specialized field that differs significantly from general dentistry, and comparisons between Orthodontic Service Organizations (OSOs) and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) are often misleading.
Orthodontics cannot be directly compared to general dentistry. As someone who transitioned from general dentistry to orthodontics, I understand the nuances of both fields and the different financial dynamics at play.
I will also address common misconceptions about private equity's motivations for buying orthodontic practices.
Tune in to learn how to make informed decisions about your practice's future.
