Solo Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Practice

To be a sole proprietor is to succeed or fail based on one's singular merits. Certainly, a previous owner can share his/her experience during a finite period, a paid consultant or advisor will lend specific advice, but the solo practitioner's training, intuition, trial and error become the primary impetus. Therefore, a solo oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practice aligns best with an entrepreneurial spirit in constant pursuit for optimal efficiency and value. Those practitioners who are discouraged by necessary business acumen and would prefer only a clinically focused role should not pursue a solo practice.
