Running time: 53:43To share a success story about one young Dentist’s path to practice ownership, Gary invited Dr. David Stern as a guest on this Thriving Dentist Show. In this Show Gary and David discuss; David’s path from dental school graduation to becoming a practice owner, what David learned from his experience as an Associate prior to becoming a practice owner, how he found the practice he ended up purchasing, why the fact that this practice was in decline was actually a good thing, how he made a successful transition from the previous owner to David’s ownership of the practice, why he did NOT send a letter to all patients announcing the new ownership, the benefits of practicing in a small town, how David created his in-office patient membership plan and how David has successfully created his own in-office patient financing plan to grow his practice (with a default rate of a fraction of 1%). You will enjoy David’s story of how he became a practice owner and how he is making his practice his own!

Gary Takacs
Gary became a successful practice owner by purchasing a fixer-upper practice and developing it into a world-class dental practice. He is passionate about sharing his hard-earned insights and experiences with dental practices across the globe. As a dental practice coach, Gary provides guidance for dental professionals on how to create a healthier practice style that lets them deliver excellent patient care while reducing depending on insurance.
More importantly, Gary’s insights are not just based on theory – as a co-owner of a dental practice, he has first-hand experience in making this transformation from a high-volume and low-fee insurance model to a fee-for-service approach that is more sustainable and promotes a patient-centric and financially healthy dental practice, and he is dedicated to sharing this knowledge with other dental practitioners via the popular Thriving Dentist Show!
