NEW DENTIST OR WANTING TO EXPAND YOUR PRACTICE?

Below are some of the key reasons that Dr. Schlossberg believes that a clear understanding of demographics will help you achieve long-term satisfaction in your dental career.

EASIER TO ORGANIZE YOUR GOALS

Finetuning the details of your practice's demographics based on location, cost, etc. before you start out will help you focus on your practice's vision rather than being bogged down by issues that you may encounter later on as a result of a lack of planning.

ADDS VALUE TO YOUR PRACTICE

Whether you plan to sell your practice later on or not, making sure that your location suits your particular set of skills and that your patients can benefit from you will help your business run more smoothly in terms of marketing and pricing relative to your competitors.

GETS YOU FAMILIAR WITH AN AREA

Although this may seem obvious, setting up a practice is not just something you can do and then undo whenever you want. Once you establish yourself, you will usually be in it for a few years minimum. This is why it is important to know the "5 W's" of your intended locale.

AS A DENTIST, YOU WANT TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE. FINDING THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR YOUR PRACTICE IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THAT GOAL.

Dr. Richard Schlossberg DDS

Dr. Richard Schlossberg is a veteran dentist with close to 50 years of experience practicing in the state of Maryland, USA, having owned a private dental practice for 46 years working alongside a dedicated group of full time team members who were the heart and soul of the practice.

In 1968, Dr. Schlossberg graduated with a B.A. from the University of Maryland and then proceeded to earn his DDS from the Howard University College of Dentistry located in Washington, DC. Shortly after, from 1972-1974, he became a part of the US Naval Academy in Norfolk, Virginia where he served as a lieutenant and conducted dental operations during the Vietnam War period.

Upon returning to Maryland, Dr. Schlossberg opened his own private dental practice in Baltimore County, where he and several associates worked alongside a team of eight full-time staff. From 1974-2017, the team provided patients with a variety of treatment options for general dentistry, orthodontics, and prosthetics.

As of 2017, Dr. Schlossberg has retired from owning and operating his clinic and now serves as a part of the University of Maryland’s Dean’s Faculty. Additionally, he volunteers at the Access Carroll Dental Clinic, which is operated by the University of Maryland’s College of Dentistry.

With his decades of practical professional experience and vast knowledge of the American dental industry, Dr. Schlossberg became a dental consultant for the Berklee Research Group starting in the Fall of 2021 and continuing into the present. He provides valuable insight through analysis of patient dental charts to support possible acquisition of dental practices.
