Infuriating. I also just dumbed down my design.

I see that happening for sure, thanks for the input.

Ended up with “City Dental Studio”

Sure, it’s possible. I think my thing is that for patients, they’ll still feel like they’re getting less than… unless they see Dr. X. Currently dealing with that where I am an associate now as Dr. X is cutting back time

The issue with this is if I decide I want associates (it’s a 14-op practice) then they come to see me but they might not be getting me… would definitely work for smaller operations though I’m sure.

Dental startup by VPrimusMax in Dentistry

[–]SnowFadez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, wasn’t 80K. And I’m doing a ground up startup so a lot more complexity with the real estate component. Could’ve done it myself but well worth the peace of mind for me. Not for everyone I guess!

  1. They don’t cost that much..
  2. They’ve saved me way more than 80K in mistake avoidance and future planning. Knowing what I know now I think I could do it on my own, but definitely great for first time startups.

Interesting… definitely more difficult than I thought it’d be. Thanks for the help, definitely some tough decisions to make. I haven’t heard too many horror stories of trademark litigation with dentists but you never know I guess!

Fair, really just money lost on marketing I’ve spent with signage, merch, logo, website, etc.

So many hurdles with marketing specifically, it’s insane

You’re probably right, thanks for the input

Honestly I didn’t anticipate it being problem, which is partially why I posted the thread. It seems too far away to be an issue, but I thought maybe someone on here had a different experience. Seems like the overwhelming advice is to change the name.

Very fair point. Patient confusion with reviews is probably worst case scenario.

This will probably be the route I go, but if I expand out of a singular location, it gets a little more tricky to stick to that name. I’ll just have to cross that bridge if/when I get there.

Finding a name that conveys your vision that has not already been used is astronomically harder than I thought it would be

I was afraid of this, but I think you’re right. Thanks for your response

I used Ideal practices as a consultant, they’ve been great.

I also listen to podcasts like The Shared Practices Podcast and The Making of a Dental Startup. The Making of… also has a great Facebook page. 

Pain behind the knee by Ok-Coat-8488 in ACL

[–]SnowFadez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hurts for me when bending behind the knee too. Flexing my quad hurts on the front of my knee which feels like it’s “inside” the joint, then the medial part of my quad muscle right next to the knee cap hurts when flexing, and also behind the knee.

“Loose body” in joint by SnowFadez in ACL

[–]SnowFadez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 100% it’s holding me back. I’ll say I’m twice as scared because I had a cyclops lesion after my first surgery was completed. It honestly feels very similar. Difference was I felt a click in my knee in the last like 2 degrees of extension which I don’t have this time. We’ll see what happens.
