When chaos strikes in your dental practice, what happens?

For most dentists, that means:

  • flustered assistants and hygienist
  • stress on you from having to tend to demand instead of working on growing your dental practice
  • And worse, frustrated patients who may never return

 

Your team plays a huge role in your practice – second only to where your dental practice is located.

That means that by having a method to find, recruit, and keep high-quality people you earn an unfair advantage at growing your business.

If you're struggling to find the right people (and you want to set your dental practice up for success), then meet Dr. Gina Dorfman.

Dr. Dorfman is a dental practice owner and a practicing dentist.

Dr. Dorfman is also one of the founders of YAPI, a practice automation software designed to help dental practices become more efficient and productive with streamlined routine business tasks and improved team and patient communications.

She's here today to help you streamline your business.

Click here to access today's bonus from Dr. Dorfman (exclusively for Start Your Dental Practice listeners) called, "Best Practices For Appointment Confirmations: Scheduling for patients so they actually keep their appointments".

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

  • The most important thing to growing a successful practice (second to location)

  • The two types of procedures in any dental practice (and how to perfectly automate this one type)

  • Why most practices miss 40% of incoming phone calls
