Hiring first PA/NP

[toofy]

All my private patients get handed this piece of paper with my cell phone number on it with instructions to call, not text. Hospital patients get a number...

[toofy]

Already got rid of the ************************ thing. My wife's not gonna sit around and watch youtube....

[toofy]

Is this like an email thing? I had a patient ask me why I never responded to their "My Chart" messages. I told them I don't know what that...

[toofy]

I have about nine 3D printers for various uses including 1 for my fellow who takes it with him when he graduates, then I buy a new one for the next fellow....

[toofy]

I do this every Thursday. Fun stuff....

[toofy]

I had one of those green egg things and never could get it to work. It would never heat up and the charcoal stuff would just burn out no matter how much...

[toofy]

There is no such thing as dental "insurance". I'm missing the irony....

[toofy]

I've had that happen several times. I always ask them "you want to build a business relationship with me, but you want to start the relationship...

[toofy]

I have not read all the responses. How much of this valuation amount is due to your own production? Are you really being asked to buy your own sweat...

[toofy]

Why would anyone buy for 4-5x when it will take them 20 years to pay it back?

Have you ever ever actually heard of someone overpaying that...

[toofy]

Agreed. Someone has to eat the tax nut. Also, how was the practice valuation calculated to arrive at the purchase price?

[toofy]

The plan for most of these is to buy up a bunch of practices and sell them as a group a few years later. That's where the bigger money is, in that next...

[toofy]

What are your specific questions? My group of 4 docs was assigned 10,000 shares from the PE group that bought us, and we split up the stock evenly, 2500...

[toofy]

First, make sure you go to a practice where the dentist's name is ON THE FRONT DOOR and has ownership in the practice. There are many corporate offices...

[toofy]

I haven't read all the posts, but you didn't state your periodontal pocket depths among other parameters. Diagnostic info is needed....

[toofy]

Why would the physician "buy in" if you guys already own it? What does the buy in get the physician?

[toofy]

I like the chicken livers from Chicken Express.

[toofy]

Hospital employees get vaccines sooner in pandemics.

[toofy]

Is ibuprofen bad for this?...

[toofy]

I'm in a different dental specialty but this is essentially how I approached it. As an associate I was given 35% of my collections. Overhead averages...

[toofy]

My cardiologist wanted an EKG because I am in my late 50s, obese, sedentary, have high cholesterol, a family history of CAD, and some other stuff he mumbled...

[toofy]

Oral surgeon here. That's a heckuva deal. I charge around $2500 for an implant and $650 for a bone graft. $300 for a bone graft is pretty low when it...

[toofy]

The USA is geographically tilted towards the West. This is why all the loose nuts roll out to California.

[toofy]

Ditto this, especially when every patient I have seen with these plans has had a difficult time finding a hospital and provider for treatment. Now during...

[toofy]

I think the total amount you can put in all your 401k's is the same regardless of how many you have. Unless one is from a completely different type of...

[toofy]

Can you elaborate on your 37th Parallel concerns? I have a few investments with them and still feel naive in this syndication thing....

[toofy]

I agree I prefer calls over texts. With texts, the patients can save them for litigious reasons. I hate texting in general. When I get a text, I call...

[toofy]

Please message me. I have some other crappy stuff I want to sell you.

[toofy]

Dental specialist here. Make sure you specialize in an area you enjoy and not what makes the most money, obviously. As a recovering Cain Watters client,...

[toofy]

I got this Blackvue about a year ago and really like it. Will record at 4k or 1080. It has a separate rear camera.

[toofy]

I furloughed 25% of our employees last week. Not sure when it will be over.

[toofy]

Who gives opinions without financial influence?? If you go to Best Buy, do you think they will recommend a TV they don't stock??

[toofy]

Huh? You obviously are an employee and not a business owner.
This is all about negotiations. If you have X insurance, you get the fee negotiated...

[toofy]

No. This is a contract of adhesion. Google it....

[toofy]

My group of 4 specialists has a hybrid model we all are OK with. We take 30% and split it equally. Then the remaining 70% is eat what you kill. I am...

[toofy]

My cardiac story was sarcasm, meant to be in jest.
You're correct that dental insurance is rarely a good deal unless someone buys it for you (like...

[toofy]

Dental specialist here. I will say physicians are the worst patients because they think they know everything, even about dentistry. Fascinating to hear...

[toofy]

Your state labor board would be very interested in hearing about this. And it doesn't cost you. Are you a W-2 or a 1099? I don't know what state you're...

[toofy]

I've got a few deals with 37th parallel but these are recent and it's too soon for me to formulate a good analysis.  I'm interested to hear from others...

[toofy]

Good info, thanks!

[toofy]

My group is about to hire our first midlevel. Will probably be a PA.  We each do our own coding and new doctors are always sent to a coding course specific...

[toofy]

I am a surgical specialist.  After practicing for over 7 years in-network with most insurance plans, I have dropped medical insurance one by one and...
