Dr Simon McDonald, based in Katikati just North of Tauranga, talks candidly about his life’s journey. He talks about his path into dental study, then takes us through the challenges and opportunities that lead to the V-ring sectional matrix system being created.
He shares principals that he’s lived by, and gripping stories of near disaster and breakthrough. Along the way Simon has been able to market this product and realise the significant value that it gives to restorative dentists.
I trust you will enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.
Stay tuned for part 2 coming soon.
