In this episode, Dr. Jason sits down with his longtime accountant and tax strategist, Scott Haberman (CPA, Eide Bailly), to unpack one of the most common questions in dentistry: “Should I start a DSO?”

Together they break down what a DSO actually is, when it makes sense to form one, and the key mistakes owners make when scaling beyond a single practice. From equity and efficiency to tax implications and partner dynamics, this is a candid, real-world look at what it takes to grow responsibly.

You’ll learn:

• When to consider creating a DSO—and when not to

• How multi-location owners can clean up “messy books” and clarify profitability

• What equity and ownership structures actually look like in practice

• Whether DSOs offer real tax advantages or just extra headaches

• Why clarity, communication, and clean agreements matter more than ever

If you’ve ever wondered whether a DSO could streamline your operations or just complicate your life, this conversation will help you see the full picture—no sugarcoating, just strategy.
