    One of the questions I get asked frequently is "How did you make the switch from GP to Cosmetic dentist?". And the truth is, there was no rule book on how to make this switch. But through my trial and error, I feel I know exactly what changes brought me to this point of my career. And now through this podcast and my Modern Dentist courses, I hope I will be able to share my journey and insights to help you have a more meaningful and passionate dental career. In today's episode we discuss:


    The importance of marketing your work and how.

    Patient Management: Setting Realistic Expectations

    Patient Management: Setting Realistic Expectations

    As Dr. Bob Barkley once said in the 1970s, "The goal of dentistry is to make the patient worse at the slowest possible rate". Dentistry is not a perfect science. Any time we have to touch a tooth, all we are doing is slowing down a train already in motion. So the #1 mistake you can make as a dentist is to be a bad communicator. You will always fail someone's expectations IF you haven't properly managed them. This podcast is my letter to anyone who needs to hear this, and can hopefully save them from learning the hard way as many dental professionals do.

    Keeping The Schedule Filled: Stop Blaming it on the Economy

    Keeping The Schedule Filled: Stop Blaming it on the Economy

    I recently received a text from a good friend who was hearing from other colleagues in her area that her friends are "having trouble with the economy" which has led to their chairs being empty. I gave this a lot of thought and decided it could make a great podcast. Because while the economy can play a factor of the equation, it is never the whole picture. I believe that if you look at what you can control, you might be shocked to find that there are many things you can do to keep your chairs full that have nothing to do with the economy. Today's podcast we will discuss:

    - Differentiation in a crowded market. How to show up as a unique experience that patients desire.

    - Marketing as a MUST and why it is so closely tied to expanding your clinic's patient base in the community.

    - Systems to help fill your chairs NOW without burning out your team.
