    Top 5 Topics: - Restrictive Covenants & Non-Competes in Healthcare Contracts - Contract Red Flags & Horror Stories for New Dentists - Term Sheets, Timelines & What New Grads Must Obtain Before Signing - DSO vs. Small Practice: The Differences in Negotiations - AI vs Real Attorneys: Why Using ChatGPT to Negotiate Contracts Is Dangerous Quotes & Wisdom: “You want an attorney who’s in your space… someone who has years of experience, years of tried and true errors and fixes. That’s very important.” — Brendan Gallagher (on hiring the right healthcare attorney) “The AI doesn’t have to deal with professional rules of conduct that attorneys have to deal with. It’s not up to the latest and greatest in the law… This is ridiculous.” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (on using AI to negotiate contracts) “We need to give back to people to understand and appreciate and listen to professionals and not sort of take it upon themselves to use ChatGPT and any number of TikTok scares.” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (on trusting trained experts over social media “second opinions”) “When you use ChatGPT your brain turns off… I don’t want young attorneys [or young doctors] doing that.” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (on keeping critical thinking alive) “Get as much practical experience as possible… you’ll be drawing on that more than you’ll draw on a lot of other things.” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (advice for residents and new grads — law or dentistry) “Discuss as many of these topics as are important with you and definitely speak to people who are in the field already to get an idea of what issues they had in their first contract. And then that’s wisdom, right, from experience. You can’t beat that.” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (on preparing for your first employment contract) “Private practice is much better than residency. Hands down.” — Dr. Brendan Gallagher (on the transition from training to real-world practice) “The original practice is trying to protect legitimate business interest… but you have to ask: does this doctor actually have the ability to inflict any sort of economic harm?” — Konstantine G. Paschalidis (on negotiating fair restrictive covenants) “That’s not a signing bonus, that’s a stay-on bonus.” — Dr. Brendan Gallagher (on spotting hidden contract tricks) Questions: (02:21) “Any recent updates with law far as employment and in the healthcare space that have kind of raised eyebrows?” (05:35) “Any updates on that restrictive covenant?… what’s the current standing?” (10:28) “What’s the worst restrictive covenant you’ve seen?” (19:18) “What would you say is like an average timeline for getting the contract signed?” (20:51) “What are some red flags for contracts… especially for dentists and oral surgeons?” (23:53) “What’s a reasonable restrictive covenant for Manhattan vs. Long Island vs. New Jersey?” (28:41) “Is there a difference in behavior and attitude if it’s a big corporation, say it’s a DSO… versus a smaller practice?” (34:35) “In addition to the term sheet… what would be 2-3 other things that residents should be thinking about before signing a contract?” (40:31) “I want to know how it’s going, having moved from residency… to hitting the field now?” Now available on: - Dr. Gallagher’s Podcast & YouTube Channel - Dose of Dental Podcast #223 My watch in this episode = Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 16 Chrono - 4.2026 #podcast #dentalpodcast #doctor #dentist #dentistry #oralsurgery #dental #dentalschool #dentalstudent #oralsurgeon #doctorgallagher #doctorgallagherspodcast

What would be different that you’d be looking at?” (43:54) “What’s your go-to sedation medication regimen that you give for the clean cut, average size patient getting wisdom teeth removed?” (51:14) “Do you have an age cutoff for sedation?” Now available on: - Dr. Gallagher’s Podcast & YouTube Channel - Dose of Dental Podcast #222 My watch in this episode = Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 16 Chrono - 4.2026 #podcast #dentalpodcast #doctor #dentist #dentistry #oralsurgery #dental #dentalschool #dentalstudent #oralsurgeon #doctorgallagher #doctorgallagherspodcast
