Power Quotes:

“Not being able to control your schedule, not being able to control the flow of your office, how you want to set it up when and how you refer to people. Whether you're forced to refer to services in-house versus work for referring them out of house. Those are all independent contractor situations.” (11:53)

“From a marketing standpoint, you should be able to have your own practice name.” (12:11)

“If you are targeting for new patients, you're going to have a different strategy than if you're just trying to stay top of mind awareness with your current patient base or inactive patients that have been in.” (13:30)

“There's never an associateship that lasts forever.” (15:28)

“As an independent contractor, you need to be fair too. These relationships have to be win-win, absolutely.” (18:26)
