Very Dental Student: Dr. Andrew Clingan on Early Practice Ownership

The Very Dental Podcast Network

Mohammed is joined by Dr. Andrew Clingan, a 2023 grad of UAB and a practice owner right out of school!

Mohammed and Andrew discussed Andrew's dental school experience moving directly into practice ownership. Andrew has had an entrepreneurial streak all through school and he interned with the Shared Practices crew in dental school.

• Who is a good candidate for early practice ownership?
• If at all possible, know what you want as a new grad
• Mailers and off market practices
• Practice acquisition philosophy
• Finding the diamond in the rough
• Transitioning from the "old guy" to the "new guy."
• Attrition expectations (patients and team)
• Financing as a new grad
• Would he do it again?
