Scaling a Dental Practice: Navigating Growth, Hiring, and Building for Success

 In this engaging episode of The Dental Lighthouse podcast, host Dr. Jason welcomes Dr. Colin Mark from Northwest Florida to discuss the exciting journey of rapid practice growth.

The conversation dives into Dr. Mark’s unique challenges, including navigating massive community growth, balancing risk, and preparing for the uncertain demand of a new practice. Together, they explore key decisions such as when to hire the right team members, how to handle new patient demand, and ways to streamline operations across multiple locations. Along the way, Dr. Jason offers insights on how to leverage existing resources, manage risk effectively, and scale with intention.
