Shabnam Zai - Paying it Forward E121

DENTOLOGY - The Business of Dentistry

Our guest this week on Dentology is Shabnam Zai, co-founder of West House Dental, a private squat practice in Middlesex.

Shabnam talks to Chris and Andy about her childhood, her time at dental school and the reasons why she decided to study dentistry over everything else.

She talks about her early career working as an associate, her experience and the learnings gained along the way and the reasons why she decided to set up her own practice.

She tells us about the decision process she went through when deciding to become a practice owner, why she decided that the Pinner Memorial Park was the ideal location, and what the journey to practice ownership was truly like.

A great listen for all those looking to set up their own dream practice.
