Next Gen DDS

Young dentists are faced with some of the most important decisions in their careers right out of school, and yet most of the advice out there is geared towards retiring dentists. We’re here to change that. NextGenDDS focuses on providing clarity and actionable advice to young dentists. Join your hosts, Dr. Scott Menaker and Mario Santiago CPA, CFP®, as they guide young dentists on both the financial and clinical aspects of dentistry.
