“We have consultants telling us how to do more pro fees and drive new patients to our practice, but we’re not prepared for our own personal exit strategies” - Dr. D. Todd Russell

What is a dental practice exit strategy and how will it benefit you when you’re ready to retire? What are the common dental practice exit mistakes dentists make?

Oftentimes, dentists are so caught up in their day-to-day grind of everything involved in running a dental practice that they do not have the time to figure out your exit strategy. You do everything from managing the staff to negotiating a new lease and, oh yeah, you also do dentistry in between. You are just too busy to even think about your exit. 

Until, one day, your back blows out, your spouse tells you to retire, or you just plain get tired of managing staff and dealing with insurance companies, cutting reimbursements, and health departments or state taxing authorities coming by for a “little visit”. You decide, it’s time! Maybe you want to continue doing dentistry at some level, either part-time, or full-time. How about selling a partnership? Maybe you want to be completely done. Here are the top five strategies you can think about before that time happens and where we have expertise in making it happen.

In this episode of The Dentrepreneur Show, Dr. D. Todd Russell, DDS will talk to Chris Vandiford to direct us on that subject.
