Dental Consultant Advice: Focus on Patients

Dental Consultant Advice: Focus on Patients

It is best if practice owners do NOT spend a lot of time on management.  They should instead focus on servicing patients with the best possible care.

A good example is a recent new client of mine.  I found him to be very congenial, so I had a hard time believing this guy was the "dental devil incarnate” described by the majority of his staff.
