What's a DPO, and is it right for you?

March 12, 2021
The founders of Imagen Dental Partners discuss why being part of a dental "partnership" organization may be better for some dentists as opposed to joining a dental "service" organization.

Think you know all there is to know about dental service organizations? Maybe not. The dental partnership organization puts a new spin on the model. It's been around for a bit, but the cofounders of Imagen Dental Partners,  Rezwan Manji and Michael Augins, have refined their DPO to make it very inviting for dentists.

Their company seeks high-performing, technology-oriented practices with which to partner. From there, the sky is the limit for the dentist and DPO. Imagen concentrates on developing long-term wealth, working and aligning close with their partners, and promoting their program, Pathway to Partnership, for new associate dentists.

They explain to Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz what sets Imagen apart from other DPOs, and why a dentist would consider becoming a part of it—during any stage of their career.
