There's No Standing Still: How to Grow a Profitable Dental Practice Focusing on You, Your People and Your Patients

This book will save you ten years of strife, struggle, stress, overwhelm, burnout and trial by fire. I am forever grateful for what I learned in dental school, the mentors who shaped my thinking and guided me along the way, and the clinical skills I gained. However, there is so much more to the reality of what it takes to succeed as a dentist, an entrepreneur, and a good human being. Throughout this book, you will learn what is working well for successful dental practices and exactly what you can do to achieve excellence and build the life you want and deserve while transforming lives every day. This book wouldn't be complete, however, if I didn't share insights from my years of building multiple profitable practices. Profit is not the only purpose for what we do day in and day out. Profit is an engine that fuels our continued success. Profit reflects our ability to provide exceptional value and quality outcomes, at a fair price, while also managing our business and leading our people in ways that enable us to build a company that matters. A company that exists as much for the family of team members within it as it does for the patients it serves.Whether you want to keep your solo practice healthy and growing, or you want to build your own large DSO, having a compelling purpose beyond making money is what will help you weather the storms of tough times, and find meaning in what you are doing for yourself, your people, and your patients.Leading and managing profitable dental practices has given me a family of more than 100 team members, and nine practices by the end of this year. We are now performing several thousand All-on-4 procedures, and hundreds of restorative and cosmetic procedures each year.My hope for you is that you will find meaning and purpose in building a company and a team that transforms the lives of your patients. I hope you now see the potential in yourself, your people, your patients, and your practice!
