The Fee for Service Dentist Podcast

The Fee For Service Dentist Podcast is a podcast where dentist and dental professionals come together to share their best ideas on how to grow high quality dental offices. With the rising tide of corporate dentistry and dental insurance companies, FFS dental practices are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Tune in as Dr. Sonny Spera and Dr. Drew Byrnes interviews everyone from industry leaders to average FFS dentists in your own backyard to find out what works for them and what he can do to keep his own practice FFS for years to come.

Dr. Valerie Scola 01/07/2024

Dr. Valerie Scola Dr. Valerie Scola grew up in Elkhart, IN, in a dental family. She worked alongside her mom in the front office during high school and college. Her father practiced dentistry for over 35 years. Dr. Scola earned her B.S. in Marketing and B.A. in Spanish from Butler University, in Indianapolis, IN. After living in the San Francisco Bay Area for six years, she returned to Indiana to pursue a career in dentistry. She attended Indiana University School of Dentistry and graduated in 2011 with her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. She joined her father in practice for a short time, before the cold winters and weakened economy led her and her husband and four kids back to California. They settled in Murrieta, CA. After a year in a DSO, Dr. Scola knew the corporate model wasn't for her. She purchased her practice in January, 2014. In 2015, she was honored to be selected as one of Incisal Edge Magazine's Top 40 Dentists Under 40. She was featured again in 2016 for an article about her 1965 Mustang Fastback and 2018 after speaking on a panel for the Lucy Hobbs Project, honoring women in dentistry. In 2017, Dr. Scola enrolled in the Essentials 1 Course at the Pankey Institute. The experience changed her life and set the tone for the future of her office. She continued through the Pankey curriculum and TMD course and began making a plan to free herself from insurance dependence. In January, 2024, she will officially be out of network with all plans, just in time for her 10th anniversary of practice ownership. Dr. Scola is very active in the community. She drives her '65 Mustang every chance she gets and spends her free time with her husband, Austin, and their four children, Lila-18, Vincent-16, Helena-14, and Estella-12. They are active in their church and are involved in a variety of sports. She can often be found on the softball field as scorekeeper and team mom.

Start-up FFS goes back in network, then exits with Dr. aaron nicholas 10/03/2023

Start-up FFS goes back in network, then exits with Dr. aaron nicholas For the One Hour Molar Root Canal, Build Up and Crown: Most dentists can hardly conceive of performing a Molar Root Canal in an hour, much less the Root Canal, Buildup and Crown. Dr. Aaron Nicholas has been practicing dentistry for over 35 years now and has learned a few things along the way. For example: what does it really take to perform efficient high quality root canal therapy? A little secret--it's not all that new stuff the big companies keep telling you that you have to have to do a good job. In this course attendees will look at research-based information about what it really takes to do the job right. And you’ll get the Buildup and Crown done at the same time. This one day can actually get you looking forward to seeing those RCTs in your schedule and add production to the office's bottom line. For the 90 Day Clinical Accelerator: The ideas and protocols in this course were developed from more than 35 years of “in the trenches” lessons learned while practicing in my own office as well as personally coaching hundreds of dentists in my time with the Dental Success Companies. The 90 Day Clinical Accelerator is designed for new dentists who are just starting their careers or established docs who are looking to improve efficiency and productivity. The farmer that knows he needs a piece of equipment and doesn’t buy it, is paying for it already. He just hasn’t quantified the cost. Contact: . Also sponsored by Kettenbach Dental.

Getting Out Of a Partnership & Starting a Solo Practice Part 2 with Dr. Hinna Chaudhry 06/25/2023

Getting Out Of a Partnership & Starting a Solo Practice Part 2 with Dr. Hinna Chaudhry Dr. Hinna Chaudhry wanted to be a dentist since she was nine years old. She was accepted into a 7 year accelerated BA/DMD program at Rutgers university in Newark NJ. She finished a one year GPR in 2011 from St. Charles hospital in Port Jefferson NY. Her journey to opening her own FFS practice was a long and convoluted one. She worked as an associate at multiple offices both private and corporate and was offered a “partnership” that seemed too good to be true. Despite these hindrances, she opened her own FFS office in the middle of the pandemic and has gone on to not only be a flourishing, successful practice owner but also a speaker for both Align (for the iTero scanner) and Alma lasers (for their skin rejuvenation product Opus Plasma).
