"They always talk about how the independent dentists are providing better care than the groups are, the corporate dentistry. Well, that's not necessarily true. If you really study the tools that they have that the independent dentists have not yet adopted, most of the independent dentists are far behind the invisible DSOs and DSOs from a patient care and a technology adoption."
