The $0 Down Startup Dental Practice with Dr. Howard Farran – Ep. 18

It’s common thinking in business that you should pick a location with tons of people – but that can be misleading.

Yes, you want access to a lot of people you can potentially help…

But what if there’s a lot of competition already there?

When it comes to starting your dental practice, you have to be strategic with where you setup or take over a dental practice.

That’s one of the many things I love about today’s guest, Dr. Howard Farran.

Dr. Farran started his dental career by thinking strategically and opening a practice in a community that numerically made sense…

With $0 down.

He’s no small name in our industry as the founder of Dental Town – the premier forum for the dental industry to collaborate.

On top of that, Dr. Farran has achieved high acclaim over the years for his philosophy and efforts to fluoridate the waters of the Phoenix community.

You’ll quickly know why Dr. Farran is such a sought after name in the dental industry.
