Customer Reviews
At last. The business of dentistry as a podcast
If you're a busy dentist, practice manager or front of house staff then this series of podcasts are for you. Highly recommended.
Great podcast, poor sound quality
Lots of super hints and tips for running a practice but the sound quality is poor. Feels like you are in a cold empty room with the interview!
Essential listening for anyone in the dental industry
Super useful advice on topics that are all to do with the business side of dentistry. The team at Practice Plan have excelled with this!
