Many dentists feel stuck in PPO plans, especially in small towns where every other practice is in-network. They worry that going fee-for-service isn’t possible in their area. But what if that belief is holding them back?

In this episode, Gary and Naren share the story of a dentist who thought exactly that—until he saw things differently. Instead of seeing his town as a challenge, he realized being the only fee-for-service practice could actually be an advantage. Patients are looking for quality care, and many are willing to pay for it—if they know where to go.
