Ep #227: Scott Leune – The Business of Dentistry – Making the Tough Decisions

In this episode, Dr. Scott Leune will be discussing the forecast of the future of dentistry and what it means to you. Scott is an expert in profitability and scalability of practices and has a lot of experience with helping practice owners connect and scale in a way that is practical and maintainable. This interview comes bearing a ton of valuable knowledge on the important decisions you need to make now and how you can make those decisions in the best way for you and your practice.

There’s so much cloudiness along the way of developing your practice and dentistry career that many people just make what they think is the easy decision and go with a DSO. Scott breaks down the options available and talks about how to make the right decisions up front with your practice and navigate where you want to go. He also shares some insight on the current market while providing clarity on how to break barriers and make it to the front of the pack.
