In this episode of The Practice Builders Podcast, Dr. Vince Leone and Dr. Kyle Pankonin dive into one of the most common (and costly) pitfalls growing practices face—scaling too fast or too sloppy. If you’ve ever wondered “Should I hire another CA?”, “When should I invest in better software?”, or “How do I get out of the day-to-day chaos?”—this one’s for you.

Inside This Episode:

  • The 3 warning signs you're overdue for new systems or staff
  • Why throwing bodies at problems is NOT the solution
