The "Busy" Trap in DentistryFor Future Dental Practice Owners, a packed schedule feels like success. Yet, a booked day lacking strategic production leads to clinical burnout. Dr. Andrew Clingan and Caitlin Embree reveal why being merely "busy" destroys dental practice profitability. Moving from clinician to empowered CEO means stopping the cycle of stepping over dollars to pick up pennies. This requires mastering dental practice management through intentional scheduling.Your Scheduling Survival Guide:If your days are chaotic but collections are stagnant, your systems are failing. Allowing patients to cancel restorative work without consequence is why dental practice profitability drops. You cannot achieve sustainable dental practice growth if your team scrambles for supplies instead of prepping same-day treatment. To implement elite dental business strategies, engineer your operations:Implement Block Scheduling: Define daily "rocks" and "boulders" to hit goals before filling gaps.Enforce Front Desk Protocols: Separate doctor time from assistant time to end bottlenecks.Demand Accountability: Stop absorbing no-shows by collecting upfront deposits for major cases.Optimize Back-Office Systems: Standardize inventory so your team can add same-day treatment.Dr. Clingan shares how these systems turned a routine limited exam into a prepaid $17,000 case in ten minutes. This operational mindset lays the foundation for scalable dental business ownership and predictable dental practice profitability. It is vital for the associate to owner transition.Ready to take the next step in your dental practice journey?

In this episode of Ask George, Dr. George Hariri breaks down the common—yet avoidable—trap where adding an associate leads to a massive drop in dental practice profitability. George shares his own Dental Moneyball cautionary tale: how he went from a thriving income to making zero dollars after hiring his first associate. This episode serves as a survival guide for any dentist moving from clinician to CEO, ensuring that your associate to owner transition actually results in more freedom, not just more expenses. George explores the "perfect storm" that kills dental practice profitability: rising overhead costs paired with a less efficient provider seeing your patients. You will learn specific dental business strategies to mitigate these risks, including the "two-to-one" hygiene-to-restorative ratio and how to expand your office capacity by modifying your schedule. We discuss why owner doctors are typically more efficient and how to train your team for co-diagnosis so that your associate walks into a well-oiled system of case acceptance. Whether you are looking to work fewer days or simply want to scale your net worth, George provides the roadmap for delegating lower-level procedures while keeping your high-production hourly rate intact. Stop guessing and start using data-driven insights to ensure your next hire is a catalyst for dental practice profitability rather than a drain on your bank account.

Your new hire isn't “bad” after three days, they're lost in your system. When we throw someone into a busy dental office with a login, a quick tour, and a vague “just ask questions,” we create office survival training. That is not onboarding, and it is one of the fastest paths to turnover, resentment, and the feeling that you can never keep a solid dental team.I break down why dental experience doesn't automatically translate into performance in your practice. Every office has a different pace, different expectations, different practice management software, and a different way of communicating with patients. Even talented, experienced people can struggle more when they feel pressure to prove themselves and don't feel safe admitting what they don't know. We talk about how inflated expectations and low psychological safety quietly destroy trust, and what to do instead if you want real employee retention.Then we get practical: assign one trainer, not a whole department, and build an onboarding system that does not live in the brain of your best employee. I share how to create a simple training framework by role, set standards without scaring good people away, and use a 30-60-90 day onboarding plan so learning happens in the right order. The goal is a practice that runs smoother, trains faster, and keeps great people because the environment makes it safe to ask questions and grow.If you want more structure like this in your dental practice management and leadership, subscribe, share this with a practice owner friend, and leave a five-star review so more dentists can find the show.

Caitlin Embree and Morgan Hamon from EAG Dental Advisors bridge the gap between daily operations and proactive financial management for dentists. Transitioning from clinician to CEO requires deep financial clarity. Most owners only speak to their CPA during tax season, but advanced financial management for dentists transforms raw data into insights that fuel long-term dental practice profitability.  If your goal is sustainable dental practice growth, this is your survival guide. Morgan explains how specialized CPAs act as your financial radiologist—diagnosing cash flow bottlenecks—so your dental practice management team can perform the operational surgery. We explore why standard profit and loss statements hide critical metrics like debt service.  Here is your blueprint to master dental business strategies and dental practice ownership:Master the Rule of Threes: Hygienists must produce three times their total pay to sustain dental practice profitability.  Calculate Cash Reserves: Keep one to two months of break-even capital, combining operating expenses and debt service, to eliminate stress. Optimize Distributions: Implement structured monthly or quarterly distributions to maximize personal wealth.  Demand Strategy: Stop accepting tax-season surprises. Demand year-round communication to track liabilities as you scale.  Proactive financial management for dentists protects your revenue.

Transitioning from a clinician to a CEO requires a fundamental shift in how you view your bank account. In this episode of Ask George, Dr. George Hariri reveals the "survival guide" for mastering dental practice profitability. If you've ever felt the frustration of a packed schedule and high production that never seems to translate into a growing bank balance, you are likely missing the "Moneyball" discipline required for true dental business ownership. George shares his personal journey from a revenue-only focus to becoming a disciplined CFO, providing the roadmap for every future owner to follow.The core of dental practice profitability lies in understanding three financial pillars: the Income Statement, the Balance Sheet, and the Cash Flow Statement. George explains why your practice management software might lie to you about your revenue and how to reconcile bank deposits with collections. By mastering financial management for dentists, you can stop guessing and start leading. This episode breaks down the "one month break-even" liquidity rule, ensuring you have enough cash on hand to weather the volatility of dental practice management without the stress of payroll cycles or credit card bills.For those looking to scale, George explores dental growth strategies that prioritize cash-on-cash returns over "paper wealth." He discusses how to utilize a quarterly distribution schedule to accumulate cash before deciding whether to reinvest in the practice or take a personal draw. This approach to sustainable dental practice growth ensures that every dollar you spend—whether on a new operatory, marketing, or coaching—acts as a soldier sent out to bring more soldiers back.Don't let your practice be a high-revenue trap. Learn the dental business strategies that separate struggling associates from wealthy owners. By focusing on dental practice profitability through the lens of cash flow and disciplined reinvestment, you can build a business that generates consistent, predictable wealth.Ready to take the next step in your dental practice journey?

Transitioning from a clinician to a CEO is the ultimate hurdle in dental practice ownership. In this episode of Practice Underwater, Dr. George Hariri and Elizabeth navigate the "logistical nightmare" of scaling an eight-month-old practice that is already bursting at the seams. With 3,000 patients and only six operatories, Elizabeth faces a pivotal choice: stay in a challenging second-floor space or chase a "shiny object" real estate deal with mismatched timelines.George reframes the traditional dental business ownership mindset by challenging the urge to move too soon. They break down the ROI of a $43,000 construction project to add two operatories versus the capital-intensive trap of buying a building that doesn't fit the long-term vision. This is a survival guide for any dentist wrestling with dental growth strategies and the fear of patient attrition.The conversation pivots to the "Mega Group" concept, where George introduces the power of the 12-operatory model. For those pursuing sustainable dental practice growth, reaching 12 operatories allows for a three-doctor rotation, providing the owner with the "school schedule" flexibility they crave without sacrificing dental practice profitability. Elizabeth gains clarity on why settling in her current space—for now—is the fastest way to hire an associate and preserve her patient base. Ready to scale your dental practice ownership?Visit https://sharedpractices.com/ for our "Free Look" service and follow our social channels for roadmap updates.

What if your documentation could protect your clinic instead of putting it at risk?I'm joined by Aidan Kelly from Brellium to talk about one of the biggest stressors for growing clinics, documentation quality and compliance. As organizations scale, it becomes nearly impossible to manually track every note, and small gaps can turn into major audit risks. Aidan shares how outdated systems and manual reviews create blind spots, and how AI can bring real-time visibility into documentation practices.We also talk about the real financial impact of audits and clawbacks, and why strong compliance infrastructure is essential if you want to grow sustainably. I love how Brellium works behind the scenes, supporting clinicians without adding extra work, while giving leaders actionable insights to improve quality across their teams.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why manual chart reviews fail as clinics growCommon documentation gaps that trigger audit riskHow AI can support compliance and improve qualityMentioned In This Episode:BrelliumEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

There may be more than one reason your practice feels harder than it should.And no — it's probably not because you need better marketing, a new niche, or another certification.In this conversation (from my appearance as a guest on The Practice of Therapy with Gordon Brewer), we stepped back and looked at the whole picture — what it actually takes to build a practice that works.Not just one piece of it. All of it.Because the truth is, there's no single fix.There are seven key areas that every successful practice has to navigate — and most clinicians are either skipping critical steps or trying to fix things out of order.This is a faster-paced conversation than what you usually hear from me — but it's packed with the big ideas that shape everything else.If your practice feels scattered, stalled, or just heavier than it should…this is a powerful place to reset.WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODEWhy your purpose has to come first (and what happens when it doesn't).How to identify the people you actually want to serve (not just who shows up).What it means to create an offer that truly works — beyond the therapy hour.How to promote your practice without feeling salesy or scattered.And the one pillar that truly drives all the rest (and can sabotage everything if ignored)This episode gives you a clean, big-picture framework to assess what's actually working in your practice — and what's not — so you can stop guessing and start making intentional changes that create real momentum.And the cool part? When you're operating at a healthy place in all or most of these, your practice becomes something you genuinely enjoy showing up to — for the long haul.Precisely what I want for you.

There's a number in your practice that looks precise but lies to you every single month: your AR report. We routinely audit multi-provider practices showing $400K, $600K, even $1M in AR — and 20–40% of that “asset” is already dead. Not collectible. Just trash left behind by bad payment posting. In this episode — the first in a 4-part series on payment posting — Heather walks through what payment posting actually is, why getting it wrong silently inflates your AR, and the seven specific things that change in your practice when posting is done right. Inside the episode: Why your AR report is a mirror of your team's posting accuracy, not what you're actually owed How a $400K/month practice dropped their AR by 30% in two weeks — without collecting a dollar more The 7 reasons clean payment posting transforms your revenue cycle The audit moment we found 200+ accounts a week being reworked that were already paid in full What's coming in Episode 176: the most common insurance-side posting mistake we see in almost every audit If you're a practice owner, billing lead, or operations director who has ever made a financial decision off an AR report — this is the foundation. Resources mentioned (Buzzsprout episode resources block) 

In this very special episode of little teeth, BIG Smiles, host Dr. Joel Berg is joined by Dr. John Rutkaushas on the verge of his retirement after 27 years as American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and AAPD Foundation CEO.

In this episode of Practice Underwater, Dr. George Hariri sits down with a dentist, Elizabeth, to discuss the initial hurdles she faced following an associate to owner transition.They analyze her impressive growth as a new dentist, jumping from a projected $1.2M to a $1.4M finish within eight months, while exploring dental business strategies to manage a bursting 3,000-patient base with only 11 hygiene days.The core strategic debate centers on whether to simplify the schedule via a fee-for-service model or expand into a multi-doctor setup by hiring another dentist, a dilemma complicated by real estate constraints discussed through a Shared Practices framework.This is a must-listen for any dentist weighing the long-term flexibility of group practice against the streamlined profitability of staying solo.In this episode:• Scaling production from a projected $1.2M pace to over $1.4M.• Managing a bottleneck of 3,000 patients with only 11 hygiene days.• The strategic debate: dropping insurance versus hiring an associate.• Evaluating real estate options for a growing team.• Balancing clinical autonomy with family flexibility.Whether navigating an associate to owner transition or vetting acquisitions in dentistry, this is your survival guide.

Our guest is Dr. Patricia Poma, industry expert, consultant, and known for her success in private practice. In this episode, we discuss leadership lessons for practice growth, strategies for success implementing new technology like Sequel and Neurolenses, and the PECAA Annual Meeting.  Key Takeaways: Success in private practice depends on your own willingness to grow and change on a personal and professional level first. Where do you want to go? What do you want your practice to be at the end of your career? Optometry used to be a profession where you had to be all things to all people. Now the opportunities are so significant in specialty areas that focusing on what you're best at is key to success. People are key to success. Know who they are and what they're best at. Empower them to find their happiness and best performance in the practice and don't hesitate to let them go if they're not the right fit. Don't add technologies or services just because everyone else is doing it. Know your patient base and what they need. Understand what you are passionate about and/or what your associate doctors are passionate about. Make a strategic and informed decision and run with it. Sequel and Neurolenses have played a key role in taking care of Dr. Poma's patients - creating an incredibly comfortable visual experience. The life changing stories patients have shared make it easy for doctors and staff to tell the story to patients. Adding anything new can be daunting, especially if it requires significant cost to the patient. It takes building momentum to be successful. Accept getting many no's before you get the yes's but those yes's lead to more as time goes on.

Your practice feels maxed out, but you're not ready to build more operatories or move locations. So what's the lever most owners ignore? Hours. We talk through why adding evenings or Saturdays sparks instant fear in dental teams, and how to lead that change without breaking trust, creating burnout, or wrecking your culture.We share the shift design that makes expanded hours feel fair: stop treating the day schedule as “normal,” rotate intentionally, and start small so the team can experience the upsides. We also dig into how to present the change so it lands as better patient access and more flexibility, not “work later and work more.” If you've ever worried that one resistant team member could derail the whole plan, we address that head-on with a practical leadership stance you can actually use.Then we zoom out to the business side of dental practice growth. If you want to hire an associate in a smaller office, the math matters: hygiene capacity, production hours, and new patient flow. We unpack why simply sliding over a chair can make you less profitable, and why split shifts and expanded hours often create the room you need without adding square footage. We even share real-world results from high-performing small-op offices that prove the model can work.If you found this helpful, subscribe for more practice owner strategies, share it with a dentist friend who's stuck at capacity, and leave a review so more owners can find the show.

We break down why a “slammed” front desk is often a symptom of broken systems, not true patient volume. We show how tighter first conversations, better phone control, and clearer financial expectations eliminate repeat work and reduce burnout.• redundant admin work as the hidden killer of efficiency• cancellations as an upstream conversation problem that creates multiple downstream tasks• phone training as the difference between long meandering calls and confident appointment closes• clear financial presentations to prevent repeated questions and follow-up work• a leadership mindset shift from hiring to system precision• a baseline staffing metric of collections per full-time front desk team member• collecting the full patient portion at scheduling to reduce no-shows and friction• homework question for the team to identify repeat tasks and remove them at the sourceSo if that's something that interests you, please reach out to us, set up a strategy call.

Patients aren't rejecting you—they're asking for trust. Caitlin and Dr. Andrew break down cost, fear, and “not now,” plus the simplest tech moves that turn objections into yes.

There's a phrase that shows up in a lot of advisory firms that seems harmless on the surface, but quietly creates friction in both the team dynamic and the client experience. In this episode, we unpack why the term “junior advisor” might be doing more damage than you realize and how small language shifts can have a big impact on trust, confidence, and the way your clients perceive your team. How the label “junior advisor” subtly undermines authority and creates doubt before a meeting even begins  Why the language you use internally becomes the experience your clients have externally  A simple but powerful reframe that helps build trust and elevate every advisor on your team  How small word choices, like “staff” versus “team,” can completely change the feel of your business At the end of the day, this is about being intentional with the words you use and recognizing the weight they carry. When you remove labels that create hierarchy or hesitation, you make it easier for your team to step into their role and for clients to trust them more quickly. Sometimes the smallest changes create the biggest shifts.Learn more about the Group Coaching & Mastermind HERE!Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about Asset-Map financial planning software HERE!

Dr. Donnie bought his dental practice just 6 months ago, and he's already facing the challenges every new owner hits. In this raw and honest "MyStory" episode, Craig and Peter sit down with Dr. Donnie to unpack the real problems he's navigating as a first-time practice owner: arbitrary revenue goals with no math to back them up, two part-time associates who aren't pulling their weight, a rocky practice management software switch mid-transition, a team that says everything's fine but clearly isn't, and a leadership style that's more people-pleasing than people-leading.  The guys break it all down, from reverse-engineering his $3M dream with actual operatory data, to why his bonus system could quietly be killing his margins, to the hard truth about what it means to lead vs. manage a team you inherited.
