She helps associate dentists maximize the flexibility and freedom of choosing associateship over ownership and coaches them on how to overcome the isolation that often comes with such a challenging job, all while effectively navigating professional relationships and developing their dental skills after completing their formal education. While associateship may not be viewed as a long-term career choice for many dentists, Dr. Soraya Safi emphasizes that associateship doesn’t have to be just a step on the road to practice ownership. Not every dentist wants the long hours, risk, and responsibility involved with owning his/her own practice. In this episode, Dr. Safi discusses the importance of a good associate employment agreement, strategies to build trust with patients and staff, and the opportunities for continuing education and coaching that are available to associates.

Joe McGonigal joins the Amigos for a conversation about the current practice transition landscape.

Joe discusses other factors that impact the final purchase price, including location and detailed, accurate financial record-keeping. Joe offers insight on how the right broker can add value to a practice transaction, and the importance of maintaining a structured, professional process for such a significant event in a practice owner’s career.

38:53The Dental Amigos are back! Rob and Paul discuss recent developments in the dentistry world regarding the prohibition of covenants not to compete in the employment context by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”). This federal non-compete ban by the FTC has been controversial spurring lawsuits that challenge the constitutionality of the ban, resulting in a court order that stopped the FTC from enforcing the ban. The FTC is considering an appeal. While some states have banned non-competes within their states, the prohibition on a federal level remains controversial and will continue to play out. With most associate agreements containing non-competes that prevent dentists from providing competing services within a specified geographic area both during an associate’s employment and for a period of time after leaving employment, this issue is getting a lot of attention in the dental world. The Amigos discuss the value of a non-compete, the limitations that a non-compete ban would impose, as well as the impact that a ban would have on the greater economy. The Amigos also discuss what’s happening with DSOs.

20:13n the fourth episode of The Dental Amigos’ fifth season, “Assembling a Group Practice,” Rob and Paul discuss key differences between growing a DSO “de novo” (as a start-up) and by acquiring existing practices. They dive into pros and cons of both strategies, such as how branding is often more consistent in a DSO that grows its practice “de novo” and how a DSO acquiring existing practices benefits from having an existing patient database. Then, the Amigos discuss external factors, like the economy and region, that may factor into a DSO’s decision as to whether to pursue a “de novo” or acquisition approach.

The Amigos begin by explaining the reasons why DSOs frequently offer associates equity, such as to increase associate retention and to garner associate loyalty. Then, they discuss considerations that associates should weigh prior to accepting an equity deal. Which type of equity is being offered? Is the compensation worth the restrictive covenant that accompanies it (which is likely more restrictive than the covenant in a non-equity deal)?
