Ep #274: Darin Acopan – Designing Your Practice Model Post COVID-19

We’re all waiting for things to go back to normal and to be able to fully open up our practices again, but in the meantime, there are things you can do now to proactively build a strong and sustainable post-pandemic practice. Darin of the Dentist Entrepreneur Organization has been working in the DSO space for over 6 years, and he joins me today to share his expertise in this area, including current pain points and what solutions work best to scale group practices.
