NAVIGATING THE PATH TO SUCCESSFUL PRACTICE OWNERSHIP

Jun 7, 2019

Episode 4-35

Dr. Zak Allmand and Apex Payment Solutions

Dr. Erin Elliot introduced me to Dr. Zak Allmand and said “You have to interview Zak. We switched to his company and it’s helped our case acceptance.”  So I interviewed him and had a blast.

We talk about how Zak made the spontaneous decision to buy a practice with a friend over a case of Miller Light. Zak’s runs his overhead between 37% to 42%, blowing industry averages out of the water. When Zak bought his practice it had rainbow confetti carpet and paper charts. The entire office ran on two computers. Dr. Zak’s recommendation is to look at the philosophy of the dental practice just as carefully as you look at the numbers.

We dive into the details of how Apex Payment Solutions came to be and what a weird industry merchant services is. We look at how and when to set up payment plans and some simple rules to make it easy for your team.
