We help dentists grow their practices and achieve their dreams.

What can we do as leaders in our dental practice to manage the common problem of our best employees quitting?? The key is not waiting around for the problem to solve itself but to be proactive in creating a solution!
In many cases, useful time is spent on non-useful activities like complaining about co-workers, negative situations and (surprisingly) not having enough time...interesting, right?
HOW MUCH DOES THAT COST??? Is this the question we fear the most from our dental patients? Are we afraid our patients won't choose our dental services if the "out of pocket" is too much? Or if we are out of their network? Does fear really drive us to believe that insurance coverage or lack of is sustaining our business?
How are the economy, technology and insurance companies driving our patient's decisions to accept the treatment plan you are delivering? Not only are they deciding WHEN they will do that crown but even IF they will ever decide! Perhaps knowing how to overcome this challenge is to know more about how the other "elective spending" products are influencing patient behavior. Did we just say, "dentistry is elective spending"? It's not what we want to believe but when our patients are more interested in buying the latest iPhone than investing in the health of their mouth and body, we need to understand WHY.
We are so busy being BUSY!
What is the cost of being too busy? When did we stop making room for the big things in our life and start allowing the little things to take up our time? Health, exercise, family, vacation, education, community service... is there enough time?
Do you know what drives a patient back into your hygiene chair after being past due 6 to 12 months? Is your front office prepared when following up? Is your dental team passionate about helping your dental patients improve their health?
