The White Coat Entrepreneur

Author: Edwin Williams, MD

Physicians have been sold out by the system, and there's no one teaching doctors the business of medicine. Physicians are uniquely set up to fail because, for one, they learn to do it all on their own. But as a small business-minded entrepreneur, Dr. Edwin Williams knows that there's a smarter, more effective way to succeed from the moment grad school is over to the opportunities that follow, like opening profit centers, a surgery center, and a practice. In this podcast, physician entrepreneurs (and future physician entrepreneurs or other professionals) can learn to think like a small business person, develop an organic culture, understand the importance of planning, and acquire with purpose, ultimately turning the road before them into a path to not only success but also happiness.

An Interview with Dr. Mark Young: Endodontist, Entrepreneur & Private Equity Partner with Thurston Group
Episode 61
Friday, 28 August, 2026

In this episode of The White Coat Entrepreneur, I had a great conversation with Dr. Mark Young, an endodontist, entrepreneur, and Operating Partner with Thurston Group. Dr. Young shares his journey as a healthcare professional, his early entrepreneurial experiences, his work on a syndicate, and his eventual transition into private equity at a young age. We have a candid conversation about building and scaling healthcare practices, acquisitions, partnerships, and the role of private equity in healthcare. I ask Dr. Young some fascinating and probing questions about the concerns surrounding private equity, what makes a successful partnership, and how the right model can create value for clinicians, teams, and patients. We also look toward the future, including Dr. Young's predictions for the private equity landscape, the continued growth and consolidation of healthcare and aesthetics, and what it takes to build organizations that create lasting value.
