Just because you can add another doctor doesn’t mean it’s the smart move. In this episode, Jason shares a coaching story about a doc who expanded too soon and ended up with two under booked doctors and not enough hygiene to support them. It’s a common trap for growing practices that haven’t fully thought through the math, the ratios, or the realities of day-to-day scheduling.
Jason breaks down when it makes sense to bring on a second provider and when you're better off adding a hygienist and grinding it out. He shares tactical ways to manage the short-term chaos, like adjusting your schedule, using bypass exam protocols, and making smart trade-offs. If your practice is at that tipping point, this episode could save you from an expensive misstep.
