When starting a healthcare practice, it's easy to get caught up in the details – the who, what, where, and when of opening your practice, so to speak.. But have you stopped to think about the "why"? According to this week's guest, Stephen Trutter, too often the "why" of practice ownership is an afterthought – if it's considered at all. As CEO at Ideal Practices, a dental consulting firm that’s opened more than 3,000 practices, Stephen knows a thing or two about the topic. Throughout his 17 years in dentistry, Stephen has personally guided more than 850 startup practices. He preaches what he calls "the three Ps of practice ownership: practice, profits and purpose."
