Revenue Is A Fairy Tale – Cash Flow Is Reality

Presented by Dr. David Darab — a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Clinical Professor at High Point University’s Workman School of Dental Medicine, and founder of Darab Business Advisors, where he coaches practice owners as “The Cash Flow Surgeon” — this course reframes the number that actually determines whether a practice thrives: cash flow, not revenue. Drawing on decades of ownership experience, Dr. Darab shares four battle-tested moves that close the gap between production and the dollars that reach your bank account. You’ll learn to charge correctly by aligning fees to value, stop the bleeding from supply and inventory waste, know your numbers through lead- versus-lag indicators, and turn patient motivation into booked treatment with a schedule built for profitability. The session closes with the real cost of waiting — and how predictable cash flow drives EBITDA and practice value at sale. Walk away with a practical playbook to move from surviving to thriving: same chair time, better cash.
