Another FEAR-based misconception of DSOs is that they are not good places to work for dentists…

That they have high rates of turnover, and that ultimately you’ll end up hating your work and will quit.

Given the high rate of educational debt for most dental school grads, many are looking for opportunities where they can be assured of earning a good living and can develop their clinical skills.

Many DSOs have clinical mentoring programs and internally provided continuing education programs to assist young dentists in the maturation process.

Professionally managed DSOs recognize that having a cadre of highly motivated, well-trained, and capable practitioners is the engine that drives revenue and patient satisfaction.

Consequently, they offer competitive compensation and benefit programs coupled with above-average CE opportunities.

And the best young associates are often provided the opportunity to get into an equity position and to become the lead dentist in their own practice.

Helped by the DSO management company, they can achieve a better work/life balance and focus more of their time and attention on patient care.

From my point of view…

This is the OPPOSITE of a bad place to work.
