Emmet hosts the ADSO's Bradley Rightnowar to discuss the importance of understanding how laws and upcoming bills impact the DSO and dental industry and why dentist-entrepreneurs and DSO leaders need to get and stay educated about them. Emmet and Bradley discuss the role of the ADSO: to lobby for, against or to add input into bills and policies at the federal and state level that can affect both patients and businesses. They use California Senate Bill 977 as a case study and how its implications can trickle into other states. They also discuss legislation regarding PPE, insurance and more.

Emmet hosts Sarah Varney and Christine Diehl, Co-Founders/CEOs of DSO Hygiene Excellence. They discuss the inception of their company, the backstory of how their practice transitioned to a DSO and their positive experience with it. They also touch on what happens to hygiene teams when DSO acquisitions happen: change management, autonomy, and more. Plus Sarah and Christine discuss their vision of elevating the profession of dental hygiene to be leaders in their DSO offices.

In this episode Emmet hosts Mitchell Goldman, JD, CEO of Mid-Atlantic Dental Partners. With over 30 years of experience in healthcare, Mitchell shares his experience and insight with Emmet into what he sees for the future of dentistry and DSOs, referring back to what primary care went through in the 1980s. He reminds Emmet and DSO leaders that the trajectory that group dentistry is not new but different as medical practices went through it before. Both Emmet and Mitchell agree the focus of group dentistry is elevating the quality of care for the industry. They also discuss the complexity of leading a DSO through COVID-19, medical and dental care coming together, dental school and more.

Emmet talks with Ken Kaufman, CFO of National Dental Partners (formerly Community Dental Partners), about private equity (PE) and access to capital. They discuss the 5 truths of PE: they don't want to buy you out; they don't want to control your clinical operations; they want you to keep a great culture; they want clarity on your vision; and they want clarity on the financials of your dental group.

In this episode, guest host Ken Kaufman interviews the new ADSO President Emmet Scott. They discuss his vision for the ADSO for his 3 year tenure — the 5 principles to revolutionize the DSO industry: aligning the industry, increasing patient access and care; team/clinician support; integrating dentistry's role in healthcare/oral systemic link in health; and keeping a future-focused customer-oriented mindset.
