Dental Office Management

Are you managing your balance sheet?

I used to belong to a management mastermind group called TEC. At that time I had a chain of 12 dental offices and I was having trouble managing them. I met a guy in the group who ran a chain of quick oil change centres.

I asked him how he made sure everyone did what they were supposed to.

Teaching vs Learning

 

Do you have any kids?

What does Success Mean to You?

I know hundreds of dentists, and they are all different.

We all have things we love and things we don't.

Most of us want to be successful, but have never defined exactly what it means to be successful to us personally.

When we see someone with a nice car or a nice house we think they must be successful.

But if these purchases required a large amount of debt for a person who is stressed out by debt, then they really are not at peace and happy and therefore not successful in my opinion.

 

Spouses in the Dental Office

This is a touchy subject because a lot of dental offices have spouses working in their practice.

The question is; is this a good idea or a bad idea?

 

Trust in the dental office

When all is said and done, there is really nothing more important than trust when it comes to building your dental practice.

Manager Training

Last spring we ran a seminar for dental managers. It was run by my office manager, Craig. It is a bit hard to summarize because it is basic training of management, plus dental office key performance areas to focus on, plus automation of the dental office, plus developing an entire office manual.

There is no doubt it was our most successful training seminar yet. We are running it again this October. Every attendee learned the basics of management, of office efficiency and automation, and went home with their entire office manual completed and most had them implemented within a month. In fact, in the following weeks we received multiple reports of systems and procedures implemented upon their return that had been stalled out for years.

 

This may seem like a strange question. Everyone knows that dentists make their money when they are chairside. Right?

Wrong!

I believe that when a dentist is chair-side, it is not the time to be thinking about money, profit, overhead, etc. We should only be thinking about what is best for that patient. And sometimes the best thing for that patient is little or no treatment due to their financial situation or a host of other possible reasons.

 

Deadline Extended and Guarantee Added

Our early bird registration deadline for the Vegas Dental Managers' Seminar expired yesterday, which is a Sunday.

We didn't think that was fair so we have extended the $100 discount and the $100 spa certificate until tomorrow, Tuesday.

 

The deadline for early bird registration discount expires this week for the Seminar for Dental Managers in Vegas.

You can save $100 PLUS your office manager will get a $100 spa certificate if you enrol by the 15^th.

If you have not seen my video that gives more details on this hands-on conference, you can see it here:

 

I am attaching a link to a video I just shot giving more details on the Vegas Seminar for Managers.

This is the only Dental Office Managers seminar I know of where  can not only learn about the systems a good dental office needs but also how to manage people in the first place so that you can actually implement the systems you want and stay on-side with all the rules and compliance issues that are expanding constantly.

It is Management 101 for a Dental Office.
