Episode length: 36m | Published: 2021-05-18
The statistics on dental embezzlement are sobering — but statistics don't tell the full story. Prosperident's Amber Weber and Wendy Askins sit down with four dentists who have lived through embezzlement firsthand: three Prosperident clients and one dentist who handled the situation independently.
Topics covered through the four interviews include:
- How each victim discovered the embezzlement — and what triggered the discovery
- How long the theft went on before it was caught
- The emotional impact of discovering that a trusted team member was stealing
- What each dentist wishes they had done differently before the theft began
- The experience of working through an investigation
- What the legal and financial outcomes looked like
- The difference in experience between those who used Prosperident and those who did not
- What each dentist now does differently to protect their practice
- Their message for other dental practice owners
This episode is essential listening for any dental practice owner who believes embezzlement is something that happens to other people. It doesn't.
