Aspen Dental Opens In Walgreens, a Strategic Opportunity or the Beginning of the End, Part I (EP04)
The big news in dentistry is the announcement of Aspen Dental-branded Offices opening in 2 Walgreens located in Florida.
This announcement of the Aspen/Walgreens partnership will serve as an example for all the pundits to repeat the rhetoric that the solo dental practitioner is a dying breed and that the dentistry of the future will be delivered through a DSO corporate structure with an employee dentist, rather than an owner dentist. It has already been predicted that since physician practices have followed this trend, dentistry will too.
I wish to use this podcast episode as an opportunity to dig little deeper and go down some rabbit holes to say, like Mark Twain said, “The news of my death has been greatly exaggerated!” I believe there is an exciting future for dentists and dentistry. Yes, the future will look different from the present, but a dentist with an entrepreneurial mindset directed at continuously creating value for the patient will always be welcome in the market.
