In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Wes continues his deep dive into dental partnerships, focusing on the potential downsides. Following the previous discussion on the advantages of partnerships, Wes now addresses key challenges such as decision-making conflicts, differing mission statements, profit allocation issues, and the complexities of new patient distribution. Whether you're currently in or considering a dental partnership, this episode equips you with the knowledge to approach these arrangements with your eyes wide open, avoiding potential pitfalls that could lead to costly disputes down the road.


Key Points:

1. Decision-Making Conflicts: Partnerships require mutual agreement on critical decisions like hiring, spending, and tax planning, which can lead to friction.
2. Differing Mission Statements and Values: Misalignment on long-term goals and practice strategies can create tension between partners.
3. Profit Allocation Complexities: Properly distributing profits is essential, and failure to do so transparently can lead to significant conflicts.
4. New Patient Distribution: Mismanagement of new patient allocation, especially when a new partner buys into the practice, can be a major point of contention.
