Summary
Dr. Jesse Defazio is a pediatric dentist and a "super associate." She has practiced in 15 offices over the last 11 years, following her husband's military career. She comes on the show to talk all about associateships and what to look for when trying to find that perfect practice. We cover some great topics including: - When does working for a DSO make sense? - Be cautious of second locations - What would the perfect office set-up look like? - Why working interviews are important - Should doctors receive a percentage of radiographs, fluoride, and prophies? - W2 vs 1099 red flags This is also a great episode for practice owners who want to bring on an associate and set them up for success.
