2023/09/28

It's a beautiful situation when a manager and dentist truly co-pilot the practice! It takes work to reach that balance though. For this deep dive into the manager-dentist dynamic, I gathered three dentists in different stages of their careers. They shared what worked and - more importantly - what didn't work. They also shared how they show appreciation for their team (hint: constant and sincere expressions work best). Laughs were definitely shared all around when discussing our missteps - learn from

2023/04/26

Expansion, sales, associates - all this growth can be hard on a practice. We tend to think of growth as a positive experience and usually, it is. However the financial health of the practice can be threatened by over-leveraging, participation decisions and team changes. Perrin DesPortes shed a lot of light on these topics and shared strategies to stay healthy - fiscally, that is. From software investments to keeping team members during transitions, the conversation flowed with insight after insight
