Key Quotes:

  • “Dentists can be a bottleneck for a lot of things. By delegating this stuff to a personal executive or virtual assistant, you’re taking a lot of that stress off so you don’t have to be the bottleneck as much for your team.”
  • “Delegation is a big key to growth, freedom of time, and freedom from stress.”
  • “If you’re delegating really well, it puts you in more control.”
  • “A lot of the time, people restrain from doing a good job because they’re afraid of doing it wrong or messing things up.”
  • “We need to make sure we’re delegating the objective and not as much the process.”
  • “If you haven’t done personality testing with your team, I highly recommend it. There are so many options out there.”

Key Quotes:

  • “I was looking to not have a tedious career. Adopting and implementing new technologies made the practice of dentistry fun for me.”
  • “After extensive discussion, it was clear that going to the dentist wasn’t people’s favorite thing, so I tapped into my wife’s database of knowledge to develop protocols for treating people who were phobic of the dentist.”
  • “With the phobic patients, they’re not going anywhere, even if they have changes in insurance.”
  • “Provide channels for virtual consultations via teledentistry.”
  • “I try to be a short-term therapist rather than a psychoanalyst.”
  • “It’s really important for dentists to know how social media works and be involved in my initial training.”
  • “Any content that can generate engagement is good, but you really want to create a bond between your staff and your patients.”
