Why should I record and critically review my own work as a dentist?
Because the cost of doing it dropped to almost nothing and the payoff is huge. There was a time when recording someone took serious money and bulky equipment. Now the smartphone in your pocket, a few hundred dollars, can capture everything you do. If you genuinely want to be a pro, you record yourself and then you critically evaluate what you are up to. Watching yourself present a case, or handle a consultation, shows you the habits you have no idea you have, the filler words, the rushed close, the moment you lost the patient. You cannot fix what you never see. Athletes review their game film for exactly this reason, and your case presentations are your game film. Set the phone up, record a real interaction, and watch it back with an honest eye. It is the cheapest coaching you will ever get.
If the answers you are finding here resonate with you, my team and I work with a small group of clients each year. The next step is a complimentary Discovery Consultation and Practice Review with Dr. McAnally.
