What apparently escaped the NY Attorney General is that the parent company is the actual owner of the dental practices and the "owner dentist” doesn’t own diddly-squat.
Hey NY AG! The "Dental Management Companies" hires individual dentists as salaried employees who then pretend to "own" the clinics! But you know that, right?
In the case of Small Smiles, the original "owner dentists" paid $10.00 per clinic or less. But when we caught on the price went up to a whopping $100. That's a pretty sweet,,, "owning" a business that generates millions of dollars a year, for $100. Sign me up!
