E01 - Bigger Isn't Easier: Dental Practice Ownership with Dr. David Weber

Growing a dental practice brings bigger expenses, more responsibility, and harder decisions about people. In the first episode of This May Hurt, Justin Clements talks with Dr. David Weber about the realities of practice ownership: taking on responsibility at 26, moving beyond survival mode, and discovering why growth doesn't automatically make the business easier to run. They discuss: • Why expenses can grow before the benefits of expansion arrive • Practice acquisition and financing • The connection between patient relationships and clinical trust • Hiring, recognizing potential, and making difficult staffing decisions Dr. Weber shares his experience at Restore Dental Arts in Michigan City and LaPorte, Indiana.
