It treats a practice purchase as more than a name on paper. The real assets are the patient list and the team around it, since continuity after an estate sale can matter as much as the deal itself.

EP 94: Surgeon Unmasks the Unmaskable Defamatory Reviewer - How She Did It (Part 2)

A medical defamation appeal turns into a measured account of subpoenas, IP traces, and the cost of keeping a case alive.

Medical Liability Minute turns patient reviews into a plain business problem. Dr. Len Tau speaks from dentistry, consulting, and reputation marketing, and the episode keeps its focus on what practices can actually do.
