I have a firm belief that dentists aren't achieving their potential - clinically, financially, or enjoyment. And in my opinion it boils down to the fact that we simply don't connect with our patients.

This ultimately leads to burnout and disenchantment with our profession. In this conversation wit...

There are three ways to grow revenue in a dental practice. Of the three the best way is to increase reimbursement for procedures you are already doing and/or doing for free.
