| 6/16/26 | ![]() How This Dentist Saved $161,842 Buying A Practice | 📋 Free Download: Practice Evaluation Checklist https://practiceown.com/pdfI recently helped a dentist save $161,000 on their dental practice acquisition. In this video, I walk through exactly how we did it, from negotiating $100,000 off the purchase price to saving over $60,000 on financing. When you're spending a million dollars, small decisions can make a massive difference.What we cover: - How we found the right practice after 3-4 months of looking - Why we offered $100K below asking price (and the seller accepted) - How time on market gives you negotiating power - Saving $60,000 by switching to the right bank - Why you should never just use one lender - A separate client who saved $500,000 on their purchase price - Why you need someone on your side during this process💼 Work with me: I help dentists evaluate dental practices before they buy. Every practice I evaluate gets compared against my database of 500+ evaluations. https://practiceown.com📬 Questions?

| 6/2/26 | ![]() If You Want Freedom, Become an Owner | 📋 Free Download: Practice Evaluation Checklist https://practiceown.com/pdfThe number one predictor of job satisfaction is autonomy. If you want freedom and control over your life as a dentist, you need to become an owner. In this video, I cover the four types of freedom you gain when you stop being an associate and start being the boss.What we cover: - Why autonomy is the #1 predictor of job satisfaction - Freedom to control your schedule (my 3-day work week) - Freedom to choose which patients and insurances you take - Freedom to take time off without asking permission - Freedom to build equity in a business you own - Why DSOs need you to stay as an associate - The real financial difference between owning and associating💼 Work with me: I help dentists evaluate dental practices before they buy. Every practice I evaluate gets compared against my database of 500+ evaluations. https://practiceown.com📬 Questions?

| 5/19/26 | ![]() Your Accountant Is Wrong About Dental Acquisitions | 📋 Free Download: Practice Evaluation Checklist https://practiceown.com/pdfIf you're buying a dental practice, be very careful about listening to advice from accountants. Accountants are great for taxes, but they don't understand how dental practices actually work. In this video, I break down why financial statements alone can't tell you if a practice is worth buying, and how the wrong advice can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.What we cover: - Why accountants don't understand dental practice acquisitions - The fundamental trap of assuming buyer production = seller production - Why "unprofitable" practices can be goldmines for buyers - How older sellers slow down and stop treatment planning - Using a 500-practice database to spot over-treatment red flags - Why the most profitable practices on paper can be the worst to buy - The danger of buying a practice with no patients💼 Work with me: I help dentists evaluate dental practices before they buy. Every practice I evaluate gets compared against my database of 500+ evaluations. https://practiceown.com📬 Questions?

| 5/5/26 | ![]() The Best Dental Practice To Buy | 📋 Free Download: Practice Evaluation Checklist https://practiceown.com/pdfWhat type of dental practice should you actually buy? In this video, I break down exactly what makes a practice worth buying. The short answer: buy a practice with a lot of active patients where the seller's revenue per patient is as low as possible. That's where your growth opportunity is.What we cover: - Why two practices with identical financials can be completely different - How to calculate active recall patients (not the broker's inflated number) - Revenue per patient: the most important number - How conservative sellers create massive growth opportunities - The ideal number of hygienists, operatories, and patients - Why high revenue per patient can be a red flag - Associate vs. owner income comparison - Why you can't trust broker documents at face value💼 Work with me: I help dentists evaluate dental practices before they buy. Every practice I evaluate gets compared against my database of 500+ evaluations. https://practiceown.com📬 Questions?
