    Employee Productivity in Healthcare: Why Your Team Isn't the Problem w/ Dr. Gireesh and Dr. Nikhil // Season 6 - Ep. #02

    Employee productivity in healthcare isn't simply about how many hours your team works. It is about KPIs, accountability, leadership, delegation, systems, and understanding exactly what each person is responsible for. In this episode of The Underdog Dentist Show, Dr. Gireesh Likhyani and Dr. Nikhil Malhotra discuss why clinics, hospitals, pharmaceutical businesses, and other founder led healthcare organizations often struggle with team productivity. We look at a problem we have repeatedly observed: founders doing everything themselves while expecting their employees to operate the same way. When everyone is multitasking, responsibilities become blurred. When KPIs aren't clearly defined, accountability becomes difficult. And when the founder remains involved in every decision, managers and team leaders may never get the authority required to actually lead. So how should we measure employee productivity? Should we measure hours worked? Should we measure output? How do you define the right KPIs? When should a founder stop managing everything? And how do you build a healthcare team that can operate without constantly depending on the founder? We also discuss an important distinction between being an owner and being a leader. Instead of building a hierarchy where every decision eventually returns to the founder, we explore what happens when individual team members are encouraged to lead their responsibilities, projects, patients, and teams with genuine accountability. If you're a doctor, dentist, clinic owner, hospital leader, healthcare entrepreneur, pharmaceutical professional, manager, or founder trying to improve employee performance and scale your healthcare business, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes a productivity problem isn't actually an employee problem. It is a systems problem. Watch the complete episode of The Underdog Dentist Show.

    AI in Healthcare 2026: How Hospitals Are Actually Using AI w/ Dr. Gireesh Likhyani // Season 6 - Ep. #01

    AI in healthcare is moving beyond experiments. In 2026, hospitals and health systems are increasingly focused on one question: can AI actually work at scale? In this episode of The Underdog Dentist Show, we explore how hospitals and healthcare organizations are moving from isolated AI pilots toward operational AI that becomes part of everyday clinical and administrative workflows. We look at how artificial intelligence in healthcare is being applied across clinical documentation, hospital operations, staffing, patient flow, clinical data abstraction, virtual care, hospital at home programs, decision support, and other healthcare workflows. But implementing healthcare AI at scale creates a much bigger challenge. It is no longer enough to demonstrate that an AI model works. Hospitals need to understand whether it integrates into existing workflows, whether clinicians actually use it, whether its impact can be measured, and whether the organization has appropriate AI governance and human oversight around it. These themes recur throughout the recent healthcare AI coverage reviewed for this episode. We also discuss why AI governance in healthcare is becoming increasingly important as organizations move from small experiments toward enterprise deployment. How should hospitals evaluate AI vendors? Who remains accountable for an AI assisted decision? How do healthcare organizations monitor performance, bias, safety, and reliability? And what happens when AI becomes embedded deeply enough into healthcare that clinicians stop consciously thinking about it as AI? For doctors, dentists, hospital leaders, healthcare entrepreneurs, pharma professionals, healthcare marketers, and anyone following the future of AI in healthcare, this episode looks beyond the hype and into the operational reality. Because the next phase of healthcare AI may not be about building a smarter model. It may be about making the technology we already have actually work inside healthcare.

    Consistency Beats Virality Every Time | Healthcare Content Strategy - Likhyani Group Insider Episode w/ Dr. Gireesh and Dr. Nikhil // Season 5 - Ep. #11

    Everyone wants to go viral. Very few are willing to stay consistent. In this episode of The Underdog Dentist Show, Dr. Gireesh Likhyani and Dr. Nikhil Malhotra discuss one of the biggest misconceptions in healthcare marketing: the belief that one viral reel can build a successful brand. We share how we think about content at Likhyani Healthcare Solutions and Likhyani Group, why systems matter more than motivation, and why consistency almost always outperforms perfection. In this conversation, we discuss: • Why creating content only when you feel motivated is a losing strategy • How a content calendar creates long term consistency • Why quality improves naturally through repetition • How to handle criticism without losing momentum • Whether healthcare professionals should chase viral content • The real cost of going viral in terms of time, budget, and effort • Why copying viral creators is rarely a sustainable strategy • How consistency builds trust, recall, and long term brand value If you're a doctor, dentist, clinic owner, hospital marketer, healthcare entrepreneur, or anyone trying to grow through content, this episode will help you think differently about what actually moves the needle. Watch the full episode and let us know: Would you rather have one viral video or one year of consistent content?

    The Biggest AI Shift in Healthcare Nobody Is Talking About w/ Dr. Gireesh Likhyani // Season 5 - Ep. #10

    AI in healthcare is moving beyond chatbots, prompts, and content generation. In this episode of The Underdog Dentist Show, I look at a much bigger shift happening quietly across healthcare: AI being integrated directly into clinical workflows, insurance approvals, patient records, pharmacy processes, claims, and everyday healthcare operations. We look at industry reported examples of AI being used to reduce manual approval steps, accelerate clinical reviews, identify care gaps, structure documentation, and move certain medicine approvals from hours to seconds. The figures discussed in this episode are reported by the companies involved and should not be treated as independently audited results. But the numbers are only part of the story. The bigger question is: Where should AI actually live inside a healthcare business? I discuss why another AI tool, login, dashboard, or chatbot may not fundamentally change your organisation. The real opportunity begins when intelligence becomes part of the workflow your team already uses. We also get into healthcare AI automation, insurance pre approvals, pharma access, clinical documentation, human oversight, transparency, and why automating an approval is fundamentally different from automating a denial. And if you run a clinic, hospital, healthcare company, pharma business, or work with insurers, I share six practical questions you can take back to your organisation immediately. Because the future of AI in healthcare may not look like AI at all. It may simply look like healthcare becoming faster, more connected, and less dependent on repetitive manual work. Listen to the complete episode of The Underdog Dentist Show and tell me: Where would you automate first in healthcare?

    Are We Using AI the Wrong Way in Healthcare? - Likhyani Group Insider Episode w/ Dr. Gireesh and Dr. Nikhil // Season 5 - Ep. #09

    AI is everywhere. But are we actually using it well, or are we simply using it because everyone else is? In this episode of The Underdog Dentist Show, we sit down to discuss how we are actually using AI across our teams at Likhyani Healthcare Solutions India and Likhyani Group Singapore, and where we believe healthcare professionals and businesses need to be much more careful. We talk about using AI for meeting notes, task delegation, reports, presentations, proposals, grammar checks, and operational workflows. We also discuss where we draw the line when it comes to AI generated healthcare content. Should your articles be completely written by AI? Should doctors create AI versions of themselves for videos? What happens to patient trust when the face, voice, or message does not feel genuine? And what happens as platforms and regulators start paying closer attention to AI generated advertising? Dr. Nikhil Malhotra and I also discuss something we are seeing increasingly often: AI FOMO. If you are creating content through AI simply because everyone around you is doing it, are you actually innovating, or are you just following the crowd? For us, AI works best as a tool that strengthens human expertise rather than becoming a substitute for it. If you are a healthcare professional, clinic owner, pharma leader, marketer, or someone trying to understand where AI genuinely fits into your business, this conversation is for you. Watch the complete episode and tell us where you stand. How much of your current workflow are you willing to hand over to AI?

    A global dental brand. Four countries. One lean team. And a content approval process that could have killed the entire campaign before it started.
