TIME TO BUST SOME OSO MYTHS

In this episode of the Smile Doctors Off-Mute Podcast, we dive deep into the realm of dental support organizations (DSOs) and orthodontic support organizations (OSOs). Our special guest, Dr. Zach Casagrande of Northern Virginia Orthodontics, shares his journey of affiliating with the OSO Smile Doctors. He provides valuable advice to independent practitioners considering affiliation and guidance in navigating the process.

The discussion further sheds light on the significant role of collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning in personal and professional growth within an OSO framework. 

 

A significant part of the conversation delves into doctor autonomy and collaborative efforts within an OSO, shedding light on how administrative duties can be managed by industry professionals, allowing practitioners to focus more on patient care. The episode highlights the impact of affiliation on growth dynamics and revenue generation. 

 

The episode concludes by exploring the innovations in orthodontic treatment, patient-centric care, and modern marketing strategies effectively implemented at Smile Doctors.
