Many of our listeners are highly driven & it may have been challenging to tap the breaks on practice development, it sure has been challenging for us at Life Smiles.

Q&A Segment

  • 00:31:11 – Question 1 – I have been reluctant to talk much about numbers with my Team because I’m concerned that it will seem like my practice is all about money rather than taking care of patients. Your thoughts?
  • 00:38:46 – Question 2 – In my practice we have not been very effective at adding in same day dentistry. I realize that I have likely been a big contributing factor to this lack of success here. I’m concerned about making our existing scheduled patients wait because we worked in a patient for same day dentistry. How can we add dentistry AND serve our existing scheduled patients?
  • 00:42:50 – Question 3 – I recently ran an unscheduled treatment plan report from my practice management software and I discovered that I have a massive amount of unscheduled treatment. Where do I start?
  • 00:49:35 – Question 4 – I really like your suggestion of designating a specific Dr. Scheduling coordinator and a specific Hygiene scheduling coordinator. How can I create accountability with these team members?
