When the suction stopped and the power went out, Dr. Maggie Augustyn could have panicked. Instead, she found herself in the basement of her 1886 dental office facing a literal life-or-death decision to flip the breaker and restore power. What happened next wasn't just a fix to a technical problem, it was a moment that revealed what true leadership looks like under pressure.

In this episode, host David Mandell welcomes back attorney Jason Greis for his third appearance. Jason, a healthcare business attorney with extensive experience advising physician practices, discusses one of the most pressing issues for independent groups today: physician compensation models and partnership structures. With generational shifts and economic realities reshaping the field, many practices are rethinking what it means to become a partner and how to fairly compensate both younger and senior physicians. Jason explains how compensation models have evolved from the 1980s and 1990s to today. Younger physicians increasingly favor employment arrangements with health systems over partnership tracks, which creates challenges for groups that need to recruit. To compete, practices must clearly articulate the benefits of partnership—including higher long-term compensation, decision-making authority, and ancillary investment opportunities—while balancing the responsibilities and risks that come with ownership. He outlines the growing popularity of three-tiered structures (associate, non-equity partner, equity partner) as a way to create flexibility and manage risk tolerance. The conversation also explores buy-in and buy-out models, the shift away from high dollar amounts, and the trend toward productivity-based (“eat what you kill”) compensation rather than common pot models. Jason highlights potential red flags, including outdated “founder's models” that rely on new doctors funding senior physicians' retirements, which often result in disputes. He emphasizes the need for practices to proactively revisit their structures—ideally years in advance of retirements or potential sales—to remain competitive, avoid pitfalls, and position themselves for long-term success.

Is Practice Ownership worth the stress?  What's the most difficult thing you have to do as a practice owner?  Thinking about starting your own squat practice? How long does it really take before you see profit, and what sacrifices do you need to make along the way? In this episode, Jaz is joined by Dr. Shabnam Zai to unpack the real highs and lows of running a dental practice. From the loss of control as an associate, to the resilience needed during COVID, to the challenges of leadership and managing a team—nothing is sugar-coated here. They also tackle the big money question: when does a squat practice finally become profitable, and is it worth the grind in those first few years? If you've ever wondered whether practice ownership is for you—or why it might not be—this episode will give you the clarity (and reality check) you need. https://youtu.be/Tf1bgOWMA2A Watch PDP237 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: “DO NOT COMPARE YOUR WORK TO WHAT YOU SEE ON SOCIAL MEDIA” Most cases shown online are the very best results, done under perfect conditions by clinicians with thousands of hours of experience.  Instead of letting that trigger self-doubt or imposter syndrome, use it as inspiration: respect it, aspire toward it, and occasionally achieve it — but remember that real-world dentistry is different. Key Takeaways Engagement in work is crucial for job satisfaction. Time management is essential for balancing work and family. Marketing and patient relationships are vital for practice growth. Quality time with family is more important than quantity. Coaching can help surface potential and provide accountability. Delegation is essential for effective practice management. Vulnerability can arise unexpectedly in practice ownership. Managing people requires empathy and clear communication. Being an associate can be fulfilling and offers flexibility. It's important to have projects outside of dentistry. Balancing family life with practice ownership is challenging but possible. Financial planning is crucial before starting a practice. Understanding your priorities helps in making career decisions. Documenting staff performance is key to effective management. Continuous learning and self-improvement are vital for success.

In this candid conversation, Anna and Kendall discuss the realities of work-life integration for wellness practice owners. They challenge the concept of "balance," preferring to focus on integration and intentional choices around how they spend their time.As Kendall notes, "I think most of us mean integration when we say balance. Right. That we're hoping for in owning our own business is that we can go to our kids school and see their project... we can build our own schedule, we can have our weekends... and we can feel integrated and grounded."The hosts share practical strategies they use to maintain boundaries while acknowledging the inevitable overlap between business and personal life. They respond to questions about discussing business with partners and children, working from home, and preventing work from consuming family time.Both Anna and Kendall emphasize the importance of self-care, with Anna noting, "I take a lot of time off, and I'm unapologetic about it." They acknowledge that maintaining these boundaries is an ongoing practice rather than a perfect system.This episode offers realistic perspectives on work-life integration, with both hosts sharing their personal experiences, challenges, and strategies for maintaining wellbeing while running successful wellness practices.Get all the links, resources and show notes here: https://wellnesscentercreators.comSponsored by Jane App, Jane offers online booking, charting, scheduling, secure video and invoicing on one secure, beautifully designed system: https://jane.app/ Use code wellness1mo for a one-month grace period on your new Jane account.

First appearing in the early 2000's, this type of practice is characterized by the elimination of third party payers. In most cases, insurance billing is replaced by a subscription or “membership” model in which patients prepay for their care on a monthly or quarterly basis. The typical DPC practice agrees to provide a comprehensive set of outpatient services that meet the needs of most patients. Hospitalizations and high-cost surgeries are generally covered by traditional insurance. Under this model, the elimination of insurance billing results in lower overhead, less paperwork, fewer employees, and better access by expanding the use of texting, phone calls, email, and telemedicine. Office visits are generally longer and more comprehensive with less time spent on paperwork. While originally designed for primary care, there are examples of specialty-based DPC-style payment arrangements. John describes why this can be the solution to burnout and a way to recover the joy of practicing medicine while earning a very good income. He also explains that creating a DPC practice requires extensive planning and significant financial resources, but less than opening a traditional practice. And he offers his thoughts on transitioning from employment to your own DPC practice. You'll find links mentioned in the episode at nonclinicalphysicians.com/direct-primary-care-practice/
