Autonomy?

Autonomy? Wikipedia defines as one who gives oneself their own law. Sounds great. I'm in control. In my practice, its just me and I am the law. No need for compromise.
In private practice, a feeling of self worth and excitement fills you when you finally are in charge. An entrepreneurial seizure drives an incredible amount of energy into your practice. Now, the buck stops with you.
But, is there a sacrifice?  With autonomy comes complete responsibility of ownership with no support. Responsibility on management, on self-improvement, on accountability, on leadership, on marketing, on human resources, on clinical development, on growth of the practice, on legal, and the list goes on. Then comes the reality..."they never taught me any business in dental school".

The business world is filled with collaboration, synergy, support, coaching, and accountability. They setup boards and systems to work in a WE atmosphere not an I.
Consider a collaboration with a system that provides the supportive environment for the essential business needs. A support in a setting that leaves the marketing, the management, the HR, the financials, the growth, the legal, the hiring, the firing, and all the rest in the hands of core value driven, ethical business leaders and then we focus on what we do best.  We can focus on mastering our skills and developing the best patient care possible.

Consider the Professional Dental Alliance.

Collaboration

Collaboration. A process where two or more individuals organize together to realize shared goals. This is more than the intersection of common goals seen in co-operative ventures, but a deep, collective, determination to reach an identical objective.
So what is the goal?
A common purpose to master the art. A common pursuit of happiness in work and life. A determination to improve on what I can accomplish to what We can accomplish.

The Professional Dental Alliance is trailblazing a new concept through collaboration of dentists.
Bringing like minded professionals together with the intention of delivering outstanding service to patients and building an environment where mastery is attainable.
We are taking dentistry where it needs to be.

Synergy

Synergy. This is a word that has not been common in private practice dentistry to this point. To often we as dentists practice on an island. Sure we link with colleagues at the monthly local society meeting or exciting convention and chat a bit about what's happening in "our" practice, but we congregate with our guard up constantly wondering if grass is really greener in the other guys world. Not that life is bad, we as dentists make a respectable living doing something we love. However, is there a better way? Is life on the mainland better than life on the island? What can walking away from I and towards WE really look like? SYNERGY.

With collaboration of great ideas, with unselfish partnership, with mentored support, with true kinship comes synergy. Synergy can create better care for patients, better mastery for a doctor, and better lives for all members of the practice. Synergy is the essence of leaving the I and moving towards the We.
Synergy, in general, may be defined as two or more agents working together to produce a result not obtainable by any of the agents independently

I invite you to consider the reality of dentistry as We. At the Professional Dental Alliance, WE are creating Synergy in a world that has been reinventing the wheel. We are creating a world of possibility in group.
