There has been a sharp increase in the number of corporate dental clinics and Elite dental clinics in India. Is it justified to try to wipe out the private practitioner? Do we have more freedom in private practice or in a corporate practice?
It's not about corporate practices taking over or wiping out the existing system. They are just entering the market and will need time to firmly establish themselves. And corporate practices will not wipe out private practitioners. They will be a competition to private practitioners in big cities and not a threat, but they are many small cities in India where corporate practices might even fail ! So i don't feel CP will wipe out private practitioner. There is definitely more freedom in private practice than in a corporate practice. Each has it's own side to boast of. So it's all about individual dentists preferences and convenience.
Private practice is more fulfilling and rational than corporate sector at any point of time for any registered practioner. Patients also get benefitted ultimate as it is more cost effective and builds a satisfying patient doctor bonding which is lacking in corporate sector.
