Independent Dentist and Liberty over Dental Insurance Tyranny As an independent dentist do you wonder why don't more dentists already have Liberty over dental insurance? For the most part it's because they have never understood they actually have a choice to make in this matter. Did you know that there are doctors practicing around you, who, at this very moment, are 100% free from the tyranny of discounted insurance contracts? You and they both go to your practices each day and do the exact same clinical procedures. You take a very big fee ‘haircut’ on [...]

What scares dental patients and NOT just on Halloween-some dental practice advice

james2024-06-21T22:57:06-04:00

What scares dental patients and NOT just on Halloween-some dental practice advice Since Halloween is upon us. I thought it perfect timing to impart some dental practice advice and discuss a few of the things that scare dental patients all year round. I'm not saying that they literally scream with terror (although there are certainly some very anxious folks in the population who without sedation are in that category), or even express what they find disappointing about interactions, but when enough of these boo-hickeys are present they aren't going to stay around long, tell others, [...]

For the Independent Dentist -Tiny excuses = big practice sabotage given enough time.

james2024-06-21T22:56:46-04:00

For the Independent Dentist -Tiny excuses = big practice sabotage given enough time. After interacting with hundreds of colleagues most as independent dentists, I've observed that the successful do and think a lot differently than those who either struggle or underachieve. This doesn't mean that the successful independent dentists are necessarily better doctors ...but one thing is very common amongst them which is they don't buy into the excuses projected by the profession at large, things such as: "It's not as easy for me to succeed; I'm not an aggressive type of person." "I'm not [...]

Dental Practice Time Management-How is time spent ?

Dental Practice Time Management-How is time spent ? Where you allow your time to go in dental practice time management is important to the well-being of your practice and lifestyle. Want to know some personal secrets? I watch almost zero network television with the exception being an addict to presidential debates. Nor do I follow sports beyond a glance that section in the paper or in the fall turning to the college football poll. Easily less than 5 minutes spent in total on Sundays with such. While I don't let my time go to these [...]

Dental Practice Advice-Money, Needs, Wants, and Happiness. Money and Dental Practice Advice.........Here are a few tidbits........... You need it to live... and we've all heard, "Money doesn't buy happiness." If that was the only story, why would anyone spend so much time making it? ...and why is it hard for too many to engineer their week to earn it in a set period of hours and then take a half or full day of 100% away time from the practice to recover one's energy? ...and since we can only keep what's left after all our [...]

Dental Marketing Ideas-Elegant Marketing Is Dope

james2024-06-21T22:55:55-04:00

Dental Marketing Ideas-Elegant Marketing Is Dope One of my key dental marketing ideas is that keeping it simple and elegant gets the job done and the patient more likely to accept your case presentation every time. Elegant is an under-used word and operational mindset in today's world. -Here's one of the official definitions: -Displaying effortless beauty and simplicity in movement or execution -Refined and tasteful in appearance or behavior or style -Simple and precise The urban dictionary would throw in.... 'Without being trashy or common....' I believe that systems of every kind need to be [...]

Patients Like “Simple” in Dental Case Acceptance

james2024-06-21T22:55:35-04:00

Patients Like "Simple" in Dental Case Acceptance As ethical doctors, we must diagnose, recommend, treat, and re-examine in everything we do, including case presentation and dental case acceptance..... ...and there's another side to it. Patient perception equals reality. (If you want more in depth reading on this check out my new book on Amazon). Patients look for any reason justify their fears and skepticism. Ask 10 colleagues which dentists they'd never trust around them and they'll quickly come up with a few names. The last Gallup poll on the matter shows dentists having less wiggle [...]
