Practicing in a FFS San Fransisco Office, with Dr. Evan Chang

We spend a lot of time talking on the podcast about rural pediatric dentistry, start-ups, and high caries risk populations. Let's shake it up and learn more about what practice is like out on the west coast of California. Dr. Evan Chang joins us to tell us more about what practice is like in San Fransisco. Dr. Change splits his time between practicing in a high-end FFS practice and a community health Medicaid clinic.

Some of the topics we discuss:

Challenges of the unique affluent community of San Fransisco

Utilizing a therapy dog in the office

Spending time developing relationships with patients early, and how sometimes watching decay lets you do better dentistry in the long-run 

Working closely with referral sources and how they can help you think outside the box

Keeping your treatment planning skills sharp while working in a FFS practice

Did Covid kill the future of study-clubs? Are we forever doomed to zoom calls and virtual dental meetings?

Stay tuned for future episodes from the Bourbon and Baby Teeth Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. We have a lineup of exciting guests to bring on, you wont wan to miss it!
