Are You REALLY Ready to Hire an Associate Dentist? (Part 2 of 3)

Описание: This is Part 2 of a 3-part series on hiring associate dentists.

In Part 1, we discussed early indicators and financial considerations for adding an associate.
In this episode, we go deeper into practice readiness — systems, protocols, KPIs, mentorship, and psychological preparedness — the areas that most often determine success or failure.

Dr. Jared Hill, and Dr. Dan Nelson unpack what needs to be in place before you bring on an associate so the transition feels intentional instead of chaotic.

Topics covered:

• Doctor-to-doctor clinical philosophy alignment
• Standardized clinical & administrative protocols
• New patient, hygiene, emergency, and scheduling workflows
• Financial policies, fee schedules, and discount expectations
• KPI tracking and provider-level scorecards
• Production, collections, case acceptance, and patient flow benchmarks
• Procedure mix expectations and mentorship bandwidth
• Psychological readiness of the owner doctor
• Sharing patients, coaching mindset, and short-term volatility
