New Name, Same Passion
from DGP July/August 21
By Jake Puhl
Welcome to the first official edition of Dental Group Practice Magazine! We rebranded Efficiency in Group Practice Magazine in our ongoing commitment to deliver important news, stories and education to your mailbox and inbox. While we’re changing our name, we’re not changing our passion. We feel this rebrand better encompasses the stories we are telling, and we’re excited to roll out even more exciting changes in the months to come.
In this issue we tackle the challenge that many dentist entrepreneurs face – transitioning from the chair to CEO. In our cover story, Dr. Sulman Ahmed shares how he built a thriving dental group practice from the ground up, and how he grew as a leader in the process. Other stories in this issue include: > Dr. Samson Liu, who went from 0 to 27 practice locations in one year, provides some best practices for building a dental organization.
> Dr. Joshua Renken examines the challenges – and opportunities – that come from running multiple dental offices at one time.
> In their column “From Chair Time to CEO,” Drs. Ben Oppenheimer and Trey Tippit have a lot to say on the transition from clinician to executive.
> We also cover topics like venture capital, revenue cycle management, increasing case acceptance, and share some highlights from our recent Summer Summit.
And, we debut a new DEO department. In the “Ultimate ‘Break Free From The Dental Chair’ Toolkit, The DEO has curated resources to help dentist entrepreneurs/leaders of emerging dental groups take the next step toward achieving their visions – to go from clinician to entrepreneur. To scale your dental group, you can’t be in the chair every day – you have to get out of your own way. The resources here can help you tackle the roadblocks preventing you from making the full transition to entrepreneur/leader.
