Future-facing strategies
Kevin Simpson points out , “ The rise of the DSO is coming . We see the history of medical practice repeating itself in dentistry . In the late 1990s , the hospital space looked similar to today ’ s dental space . Most physicians were in private practice and 20-30 % were employed by hospitals . Then hospitals began buying up private practices and physicians gave up much of their autonomy to corporations . Physician recruitment exploded and today , only 20 % of medical doctors are in private practice . Dentists , by comparison , run a small ER with expensive equipment , so they have heavily invested in their business . We have been able to apply the experience and expertise we gained in our early years in the physician space to the modern dental space to help dentists preserve their investment and their autonomy .”
Brad Hunsaker adds , “ Fortune knows that if dentists in private practice or small dental groups want to stay competitive , optimize the patient experience , and have control over care , they need help . We ’ re excited about the opportunities to help dentists meet the challenges they face and align their practices with their personal and professional vision for the future .”
