Can You be a Growth-Minded Orthodontist in this Tough Business Climate?
Growing an orthodontic practice and launching a new location is an exhilarating endeavor. Whether you’re starting your first practice or your tenth, making it a success is vital for both the patients you care for and the rockstar team who supports you.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ben Fishbein, a board-certified orthodontist, Northwest Florida’s only Invisalign Diamond Plus provider, and the official smile provider for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. But that’s not all - Dr. Fishbein is perhaps most well-known for his practice's tremendous growth.
From a single location generating $800,000 in production to overseeing 9 locations, 7 doctors, and $25 million in annual production, Fishbein Orthodontics is an inspiring example of how clinical expertise and entrepreneurial vision can combine to create opportunities for exceptional impact.
Dr. Law and Dr. Fishbein delve into the challenges and triumphs of opening new practices, including his latest venture in partnership with Smile Doctors. As the Clinical Director of De Novos within Smile Doctors, Ben provides invaluable guidance to new practices starting this year and next, helping them navigate the path to success. He discusses the importance of delegation, how to hone your leadership skills, and the value of a strong community presence.
This episode is a must-listen if you’re growth-minded or interested in a compelling success story. Join us as we explore Ben’s journey, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and how you can apply these insights to become a better orthodontist and business leader.
