Show Notes
In just over three months of practice ownership, Dr. Tim Balzen has already produced double the income he made last year as an associate — and he’s closing on a second building in a few weeks to keep up with demand.
In this episode, Dr. Tim sits down with Steve to walk through the five-year, multi-state journey that led him from a saturated Boise market to a three-op practice in a small Missouri town, and everything that’s happened since closing day. He gets candid about the offices he almost bought (and why he didn’t), the moment three team members broke down crying in his first month, the insurance call that earned him an instant 20% fee bump, and the neighboring dentist whose letter to patients accidentally sent over 100 new appointments his way.
If you’re a dentist or dental student weighing ownership, this one is packed with practical, no-fluff lessons on how to actually pull it off — and why the path is rarely a straight line.
