Welcome to another episode of The Dentalpreneur Podcast. On today’s show we are talking about an incredibly unfortunate,
but common occurrence in the dental practice – embezzlement.
Joining us to share his wisdom and experience in this area is David Harris, CEO and founder of Prosperident-The Dental
Fraud Experts. As the world’s leading expert on dental office embezzlement, David is also a Certified Fraud Examiner and
a licensed Private Investigator. After David left his job as an investigator for a bank, he was asked by a friend that
had a dental practice to investigate a possible situation of fraud. David soon discovered there was in fact a case of
embezzlement occurring at his friend’s office. In a strange twist of fate, David later discovered the same person that
committed the fraud working in yet another dentist’s office. From that experience David determined that there was a huge
demand for specialist that investigated fraud specifically in dental practices. As disturbing as it might sound, some
experts estimate that fraud occurs in as much as 70% of dental practices. Published numbers indicate that the likelihood
of a dental practice falling victim to embezzlement in more than 50%.
