Question: What goals do you have for yourself and your organization in 2023?
Dr. Greg White: Our primary goal in 2023 as a doctor-owned DSO is to help doctor owners understand that consolidation in dentistry is inevitable, and share how PepperPointe Partnerships is trying to redirect consolidation in a manner that keeps true doctor ownership and control in the provider's hands.
At PepperPointe, we'll continue to build on the high quality of care and support we provide our doctors to ensure they and their practices become the very best version of themselves. We want to attract the very best clinicians and individuals who share our core values, which begin and end with viewing every decision based on what is in the best interest of the patient. As long as we focus on these details, PepperPointe will continue to grow and thrive.
My personal goals for the new year are to continue growing in my role as CEO as I transition from founder and innovator to more of a day-to-day chief executive who is here to serve my team in such a manner that is rewarding for them personally and professionally. I aim to try and lead by example, lead through core values, and hire, recognize and reward through those core values. The best people, with the best plan, with the best vision, will lead to the best version.
