Here's When You Should Expand (a Case Study with Dr. Stokke) Part 2

You've heard his journey so far, with his first decision to expand. In Part 1, we set the stage for Dr. Chad Christiansen's next opportunity. He might be expanding to an entirely new location. So will he add a startup loan on top of his acquisition loan?

Pre-owner Under Water is back! Our anonymous guest "Dr. Hoss" joins Matt Ford and Merlin Erickson. Dr. Hoss has his sites set on a practice doing about $750k. He's not sure. But Matt loves it. We'll see if he jumps on this opportunity, or waits for the next one to come around. 

The when, how, and why of expanding your practice. Our guest Dr. Chad Christiansen talks about his original expansion from five to seven operatories. But he's also hitting that point where he knows he can't grow in his current space. Richard and Caitlin coach him through exactly how to do this. 

There's an intricate dance between aggressively pursuing financial freedom and staying physically, mentally, and even spiritually healthy. Richard and Ryan Isaac talk about this nuanced debate of wealth versus health within our profession

Dr. Steven Beard and Caitlin Embree continue their conversation about practice systemization, focusing on the art of patient flow in the dental office. Strategies for scheduling, the impact of first impressions, and the tactical use of diagnostics to enhance treatment acceptance, and more.

From graduation, to associateship, to rural Missouri, Dr. Aubrie Evans tells us about her rocky, wild journey as a productive solo practice owner. Unexpected departures of key staff members and embracing the complexities of insurance, Dr. Evans tells all.

George and Suzanne answer pointed questions about practice expansion, giving us rare glimpses into their first-hand experience during this inaugural episode of Ask George.

Dr. Steven Beard and our very own Caitlin Embree talk about efficient office systems, mastering the balance between productivity and busyness, and the art of insurance negotiations. 

We continue our conversation with Dr. Erica Stokke in the midst of a critical decision: whether to expand her inherited Montana practice or optimize her current space. With a rich family legacy and a bustling patient base, Dr. Stokke is forced to weigh the benefits and challenges of remodeling against completely new construction. With our coach Caitlin Embree and Dr. Richard Low, we're gonna peel back the layers of strategy, patient demographics, and the personal quest for a practice that truly reflects Dr. Stokke's own identity.
