Why do people keep saying Betz when Becker is 99% going to be doing everything for most?

Name of the institute I guess, for me it's because I have been around the forum before Becker existed but yeah I have had zero contact with Dr. Betz all been Dr. Becker who I have found to be great to deal with

Really excited for you.  Bummer we might not be there at the same time but yes some tips would be helpful....im following your journal.  I cant believe mine is in a month, surreal.

One thing Id like to ask is when did they ask you to pay?  Im a month out and they still havent asked me for a deposit yet.

Why is it not possible? So does Dr Betz continue to own it and Dr Becker is like a consultant?

I dont know the financial arrangement but I highly doubt Becker could buy the whole practice and name.  Betz trained Becker, hes prob taking over as the head surgeon and gets an equity share, but not the whole thing.

Most of these deals involve vendor financing

Eg he may have bought 50% share, paid what he could and funded the rest via loan from betz. This Loan id paid down via dividends over next few years

Is it possible to still consult Dr Betz and get him to be involved in the surgery?
