Episode notes
What does it really mean to build a DSO that puts clinicians first? In this episode of The Dental Economist Show, host Mike Huffaker sits down with Dr. Victoria Yu, CEO of Elite Dental Partners, for a candid conversation about redefining what DSO partnership and ownership can look like. Dr. Yu brings a rare perspective having owned her own de novo practices, scaled dental operations inside Walmart, and now leading a growing DSO to explore how clinician-led leadership changes everything. Tune in to hear how Elite Dental Partners is flipping the script on traditional DSO models through innovative ownership structures, deep investment in clinical education, and a people-first culture that starts before the first interview question is even asked. This episode is a masterclass in leading with purpose, building trust at scale, and why the best time to be in dentistry is right now. #dentaleconomist #dsoleadership #clinicianfirst If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, like, and comment Chapters: 00:00 Introduction & Meeting Dr.
