Dental Partnership / Associate Structuring; Dental Associate Placement
Over the years we have seen innumerable “horror stories” of associate and partnership breakups. These breakups have led to practice dissolution, staff mutinies, financial disaster, and broken friendships. Most of you have heard of associates moving down the street (along with the trusted office manager or hygienist) and establishing a competing practice. Of course, they contact the patient base just to let them know where they are!
Doctors tend to be trusting people who may enter into these relationships on a handshake. Unfortunately, people tend to selectively hear (usually what they want to hear) and after time has passed, no one really remembers the initial agreement. In most cases the problems could have been avoided if the parties had only taken the time to define their goals, communicate their expectations, and develop a written contract that defines the relationship!
We have helped structure hundreds of associate and partnership relationships. We believe every relationship is unique and must be a custom fit. We can guide you through the process and provide a framework for your convenience.
