One year, that was about perfect. Enough time to get used to working fast and save up some money for an emergency fund. I’ve worked with dentists who are right out of school, and some who are 7+ years out of school. The ones who are 7+ years out are not any more prepared than those who are 1 year out. Learning seems to plateau after 6 month to a year. You will never feel ready. The best way to learn to be an owner is to buy a practice and get started.
Have any of you worked at a DSO? What was your experience like?
How long after graduation until you purchased your first practice?
