Episode Summary

If you're a dental practice owner that truly enjoys the clinical part of dentistry but would prefer not to be involved with many of the other facets of owning a practice you may want to look into a DPG, dental partnership group. DPGs will allow you to take some money off the table by selling a minority ownership in your practice. You remain the majority owner with full autonomy. To tell us all about it is Dr. Weston Spencer, Chief Dental Officer for SPP and a practicing general dentist in La Jolla, CA.
