EP32 Finance for Dentists – Interview with Paula Cadey


In this episode, Mike speaks with Paula Cadey – Head of Mantra Dental Finance, a boutique financial brokerage set up to serve the dental community.

Paula talks about her career in banking and how that led to her gaining a wealth of experience in healthcare financing, before joining Mantra Finance to head up their newly established dental arm.

She discusses all the different ways a finance brokerage can help dentists – from startup loans to financing new equipment – and why it’s often better working with a broker rather than going direct to a bank.

Finally, Paula shares her number one piece of advice for anyone thinking about buying or starting their own dental practice.

If you have any questions regarding dental finance, then reach out to Paula Cadey at Mantra Dental Finance.

This episode is brought to you by PatientBoost – The Business & Marketing Growth Consultancy for Dental Practices.

Last year, we phoned over 100 dental practices to understand how receptionists handle patient calls, and we were SHOCKED by the results.

Based on what we learnt, we put together the Dental Receptionist Greeting Script to help receptionists make the best first impression and increase the likelihood of turning a complete stranger into a patient.
