    *PODCAST EXCLUSIVE* - 5.14.26 - An audio elaboration of this Threads/X quote, thought, or idea I just posted: “Finishing the boards is a blessing: now it’s actually time.

    Top 5 Topics: - Fast-Track Partnership in Oral Surgery, in 18 Months! - Brutal Realities After Residency, in Private Practice - Key Sedation Medications & Oral Surgery Procedure Techniques - Building a Huge Social Media Following as an Oral Surgeon - Work-Life Balance as a New Dad Oral Surgeon Quotes & Wisdom: “The guys in my practice ended up being exactly who they said they were. So it’s worked out nice. It’s been great.” – Steven Licht (on partnership track) “The boards are sort of a blessing though, now it’s actually time. There’s no more after this, after boards now, there’s nothing left to do besides learn the business and continue to practice.” – Steven Licht (post-residency reality check) “I feel like that first year out… becomes that “intern year” for like, real-life practicing Oral Surgery.” – Brendan Gallagher (transition from residency to practicing) “I try to be honest; transparent. I try to say things the way they are. It’s stuff we all experience, that as dental students, or growing up, we had no idea about.” – Brendan Gallagher (why his content resonates) “I think that it’s is important to not have to work weekends. You need the break, I think, cause private practice is definitely better than residency.” – Steven Licht (work-life balance) “The best part about the group is the scope is good. We still keep our thirst quenched with some of the bigger stuff with orthognathics, trauma, etc.” – Steven Licht (maintaining surgical scope in private practice) “We’re trying to grow organically, without private equity, which I like. So it’s cool. It’s a good group of partners, they’re good to be with.” – Steven Licht (practice growth philosophy) Questions: 02:04 – “That’s a quick partnership track for you, within 18 months?” 03:12 – “Was that a sweat-equity buy-in? Or was it like you had to save up a certain amount and pay it to them?” 08:10 – “Where’d you go to college? Where’d you go to dental school? And then how’d you end up in Pittsburgh?” 19:38 – “What are some of your day-to-day procedures that you’re doing in practice?” 21:44 – “Do you take lot of insurances?” 27:07 – “What are your techniques and tricks for anterior implants?” 32:54 – “What’re your suture techniques for, say, bone grafting and implants?” 42:48 – “What’s your regimen for sedation medications?” Now available on: - Dr. Gallagher’s Podcast & YouTube Channel - Dose of Dental Podcast #230 My watch in this episode = Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 16 Chrono - 4.2026 #podcast #dentalpodcast #doctor #dentist #dentistry #oralsurgery #dental #dentalschool #dentalstudent #oralsurgeon #doctorgallagher #doctorgallagherspodcast

You gotta work on what you have right now, not what you don’t have.” “I was doing like probably 10 to 15 hour study days… I would go to the gym in the morning and I would sit on a spin bike and I would just do flashcards for like an hour in the morning.” “Start with just getting something out there [for your personal statement]. Look up examples… word vomit stuff out on the page… then you edit it, you modify it… It’s going to take weeks to months.” “Do it, man. [OMFS residency] It’s hard. You got to stay in there. Get used to taking a lot of sacrifices, but with dedication, you can do it.” “For what I do day in and day out of oral surgery, I don’t need an MD to do it… that would be an extra 2 years… not necessary.” “Grades do matter. It’s also different for different dental schools because some dental schools just have pass/fail.” “I had multiple weeks that I had worked over 100 hours. All 4 years I had those kinds of work weeks.” “Keep it going… I remember for the DAT, there was a while where I would go to the gym… and then basically come home and do practice tests and studying.” Questions: [01:21] “How are prices determined for medical procedures? Does insurance define them or the doctor?” [05:11] “I’m in 1st semester of dental school. I did bad. Is it really that big of a deal? Do grades matter?” [~05:30] “Do you have any tips on writing the personal statement?” [08:46] “What’s your thoughts on dental anesthesiology?” [~09:00] “I’ve had braces for 4 months. Is it normal for a tooth that’s moved significantly to be gray?” [11:49] “Why didn’t you take an MD degree?” [~13:00] “What do you think about the military dental scholarship?” [~14:00] “How long are rotations in residency?” [15:31] “Do all OMFS residencies in the US require you to be a green card holder?” “Which years of OMFS residency usually have the insane hours?” Now available on: - Dr. Gallagher’s Podcast & YouTube Channel My watch in this episode = Citizen Promaster Diver Day Date (Green) - 5.2026 #podcast #dentalpodcast #doctor #dentist #dentistry #oralsurgery #dental #dentalschool #dentalstudent #oralsurgeon #doctorgallagher #doctorgallagherspodcast

    Dr. Madison LeBlanc @maxfacemads - Dose of Dental Podcast #229 x Dr. Gallagher's Podcast

    Top 5 Topics: - Dental School vs. Medical School: Which One Is Actually Harder? - Women in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery – Breaking Barriers in a Male-Dominated Field - Insane Residency Horror Stories – 24-Hour Shifts & Paper Charting at the VA - From Vet Dreams to 6-Year OMFS Residency – The Untold Story Quotes & Wisdom: Dr. LeBlanc (~25:00): “What most people are lacking is a mentor that looks like them and has similar goals… If you don’t see somebody who’s out there looking like you practicing how you would want to and having a life you could envision, it’s really hard to envision yourself in that role.” Dr. LeBlanc (~27:17): “If a man is intimidated by your drive, your success, your career, maybe he’s not the man for you. And then that’s okay. There are plenty of men out there who are totally fine with having really successful partners.” Dr. LeBlanc (~08:49): “This is a hill that I will die on: the schedule of my med school experience was a lot easier than the schedule of my dental school experience. They were much more focused on mental health; on a holistic, more altruistic experience.” Dr. LeBlanc (~58:12): “You are never going to feel ready… You kind of just start doing it. And then after a while, you’re like, ‘Wow, I just did that whole case pretty much by myself.’” Dr. LeBlanc (~26:00): “By being more visible and trying to be in a mentor position… I could have some small impact on that, because the amount of older women OMFS who are through and done is such a small number.” Questions: 08:12 – “How would you compare the medical school experience to dental school?” 13:49 – “How do you deal with hate comments on social media? What’s your policy on it?” 15:06 – “Did you hear about the Mayo Clinic’s medical student situation?” 19:27 – “What are your thoughts on the Lady Spine Doc brand deal controversies?” 24:28 – “What are your takes on gender disparities for women in surgery residencies?” 33:18 – “Tell me about the story of when the pharmacist called you to ask why you were prescribing oxy as a DDS?” 44:48 / 45:07 – “Have you thought about a possible fellowship interest after residency?” Now available on: - Dr. Gallagher’s Podcast & YouTube Channel - Dose of Dental Podcast #229 My watch in this episode = Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 16 Chrono - 4.2026 #podcast #dentalpodcast #doctor #dentist #dentistry #oralsurgery #dental #dentalschool #dentalstudent #oralsurgeon #doctorgallagher #doctorgallagherspodcast
