Selling a practice is rarely top of mind for younger owners, who are typically focused on establishing their careers and growing their business. But what if building a successful practice early gives you more options, not fewer? Dr. Ben Fishbein took a different approach, creating a thriving orthodontic practice and ultimately partnering with a DSO much earlier than many owners consider.
In this episode of The Advisor’s Table, the team sits down with Dr. Fishbein to hear how he built his practice, what set it up for success, and what ultimately led him to pursue a transition at a point in his career when most owners are still focused solely on growth.
“As a business owner we have a responsibility to listen and see what kind of opportunities are out there, and not just for ourselves but for our families and team.”
Key Takeaways for Dental Professionals:
- Make it easy to say yes. The practices that create a seamless, convenient patient experience are better positioned to win.
- Be open to the opportunities around you. You don’t have to be ready to make a change, but it’s worth understanding what opportunities are available and what they could mean for your practice.
- Know when to bring in support. It can be difficult to objectively represent and advocate for yourself, especially when navigating a major business decision.
Why This Matters for Dental Professionals
