This week’s episode is the first without co-host Andy Traub. He recently published his book titled Early to Rise (http://amzn.to/11zpvq4) and if you have not read this wonderful book, then run don’t walk and read it NOW. May be the best $7.99 you ever invest in yourself! Due to increasing time demands, Andy is no longer able to serve as the co-host of the Thriving Dentist Show. However, the Show will go and we are forever grateful to Andy’s contribution. Thanks Andy!

Running Time: 47:43 minI decided to do this Show as a solo show to allow me to go into detail on the topic of The 5 Systems for a Thriving Practice.
Here are those 5 systems:
1) Develop a Comprehensive Dental Marketing Plan
2) Make Teeth Whitening a Core Element
3) Use Digital Photography for Patient Oral Health Education
4) Get Serious about Diagnosing & Treating Periodontal Disease
5) Create an Incredible New Patient Experience
Here are 6 Goals of a Thriving Practice:
1) Overhead no higher than 60% (ideally 50%)
2) Ability to fully fund a pension or savings Plan
3) Enough revenue to allow you to have a state-of-the-art facility, modern equipment, generous CE budget, use the best labs, latest technology and still control overhead at 60% or less (Ideally 50%)
4) A high-performance team you truly love and enjoy working with
5) Patients you genuinely enjoy taking care of
6) Treatment mix that gives you satisfaction

Gary became a successful practice owner by purchasing a fixer-upper practice and developing it into a world-class dental practice. He is passionate about sharing his hard-earned insights and experiences with dental practices across the globe. As a dental practice coach, Gary provides guidance for dental professionals on how to create a healthier practice style that lets them deliver excellent patient care while reducing depending on insurance.
More importantly, Gary’s insights are not just based on theory – as a co-owner of a dental practice, he has first-hand experience in making this transformation from a high-volume and low-fee insurance model to a fee-for-service approach that is more sustainable and promotes a patient-centric and financially healthy dental practice, and he is dedicated to sharing this knowledge with other dental practitioners via the popular Thriving Dentist Show!
