Description

In this episode of The Orthopreneurs Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Ben Samuelson—an orthodontist and co-founder of PDOA (Pediatric Dental & Orthodontic Associates)—who’s quietly built a multi-practice model across Alabama that’s giving OSOs a serious run for their money. We get real about the challenges of growth, retaining top-tier team members, and how building your own collaborative group of practices can unlock career advancement, culture control, and long-term freedom—without sacrificing your autonomy.Ben shares how he and his pediatric dentistry partners co-branded multiple practices under one umbrella, developed scalable systems using EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), and turned what used to be cookie-basket-level marketing into a patient magnet powered by smart, integrated operations. Whether you’re feeling stuck at $1.5M/year or wondering how to grow while keeping your sanity, this episode is packed with honest insights and proven strategies you can actually use.Quotes“When I was by myself in my little practice... your ceiling’s pretty low. Now I can give my team real growth paths and comp packages that actually reward performance.” — Dr. Ben Samuelson“You can treat more people, better, with fewer mistakes, if you build systems around your vision.
