Dental Economics and Effective Practice Management 0
Jan 24, 2019

Hey Ambitious Dentists

Do you always feel like you’re playing catchup on learning the latest best practices for running a successful dental practice?
 
Whether it’s taking yet another training, or listening to the top rated dental podcasts, it can often be a challenge to keep up.
 
While putting in the work daily is part of running a thriving practice, knowing the “big wins” for getting the best results can help take your practice to the next level.
 
Which is why I'm very excited to introduce today's guest Dr. Chris Salierno.
 
Dr. Chris is the editor and chief of the Dental Economics and a practicing dentist in New York. He also serves as the editorial director for DE's Principles of Practice Management e-newsletters and lectures internationally on clinical dentistry, practice management, and leadership development.
 
I think you'll find our conversation is jam packed with actionable insight you can apply to grow your practice.

Here are a few things you'll discover in today's episode

  • How Dr. Chris balances practicing two to three times a week and being the editor and chief of Dental Economics.
  • Why dental economics is so important, and how to spot dental practice opportunities.
    The importance of patient experience and how to stand out from your competition.
  • What Dr. Chris has learned from being editor in chief of Dental Economics.
  • Whether or not you need an MBA to build a successful practice.
  • Why having a mentor is one of the best investments you can make.
  • How to build your “business mindset” consistently.

And much more!

Hey Ambitious Dentists!

One of the most requested topics I receive from the SYDP community to cover on the podcast is the nitty gritty in and outs of buying a dental practice.

Whether you’re looking to buy your very first practice or eyeing practice #2 or #3, it always seems there’s plenty to improve throughout the process to help ensure you walk away with a great deal.

Today, I’m incredibly excited to have Dr. Paul Goodman, of Dental Nachos fame, on the show.

It turns, Dr. Paul knows a thing or two about buying dental practices.

Currently, a transition specialist and coach, Dr. Paul Goodman, has done it all. A former practicing dentist himself, Dr. Paul has also brokered some dental practice deals and currently helps coach dentists throughout the buying process.

He really brings the value in today's conversation.

Lessons From Growing Multiple Dental Practices With Dr. Hunter Smith 0
Jan 3, 2019
Hey Ambitious Dentists!
 
Happy New Year! I hope you a wonderful 2018 and even better 2019!
 
First off, I want to say thank you to all of you who reached out about our latest SYDP podcast episode with Kiera Dent. I always enjoy hearing about the key takeaways our listeners gain from the show.
 
After the  minor SYDP hiatus in 2018, it’s great to be back behind the mic and getting to share my conversations with our incredible guests.
 
One of the best parts about running the SYDP podcast is that we’ve been fortunate enough to have some truly high performing dentists and dental practice owners on podcast, and the lessons they share can often help to take your dental practice to the next level.
 
Today I’m excited to share my conversation with Dr. Hunter Smith, a fellow Arkansas native, and former guest on the show.  Dr. Hunter is a legend on Dental Town and in other dental circles and has seen some incredible success buying multiple dental practices right out of school.
 
Given we last spoke with him a year or two ago, I invited him back on the show to share what he’s been up to since our last conversation where he shares what he's learned since we last spoke.

Here are a few things you'll discover in today's episode

  • What Dr. Hunter has been up to since we last chatted, hint - it’s a lot.
  • Why most dentists fail at the art of the followup and how to build the perfect followup system for your dental practice.
  • What Dr. Hunter has learned from stepping away from the day to day of dentistry and the lessons he’s learned from growing his GPS dental group.
  • The ins and outs of running a DSO.
  • What makes an “effective” dentist and how to improve productivity at your own dental practice.
