The statistics on dental embezzlement are sobering — but statistics don't tell the full story. In this powerful episode, 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.
Hearing directly from victims strips away the abstract and makes the reality of dental embezzlement impossible to dismiss. These are real practitioners — smart, hardworking, diligent people — who were victimized by employees they trusted. Their stories are candid, their reflections are honest, and their advice is something every dental practice owner should hear.
Topics covered through the four interviews include:
This episode is essential listening for any dental practice owner who believes embezzlement is something that happens to other people. It doesn't. It happens to practices exactly like yours — and to dentists exactly like you.
