Running a successful dental practice involves more than just providing excellent patient care — it’s about fostering a work environment where doctors genuinely feel valued. This is a vital component of building relationships that drive lasting success.
I’ve discovered that real progress stems from creating a workplace where doctors can thrive both independently and collaboratively. There are techniques I have implemented into my practices to create a formula that allows doctors to function and thrive at their highest capacity. This formula consists of balanced and intuitive methods to create a fulfilled workplace where doctors know their true value and patients trust them to provide the best standards of care.
It’s not just about leadership — it’s about adapting to the evolving needs of both doctors and patients while empowering my team with the autonomy and respect they need to excel and deliver results.
In my book, Grit Your Teeth: Building a People-First Organization through Tenacity and Purpose, I outline those actionable steps you can take to cultivate a culture of fulfillment—one that naturally drives results and continues to deliver world-class care to your clients.
I also explore the three essential elements every dental practice must embrace to ensure doctor fulfillment and the inevitable growth that comes with it. These elements are tried and tested and have helped me grow from a single dental practice to now operating in 25 locations across the United States.
I have gained invaluable insights from other business minds along the way, such as Kevin Plank, the founder and CEO of Under Armour sportswear whose own journey to entrepreneurship wasn’t without its challenges. Kevin’s resilience and determination were enough to overcome these hardships, ultimately leading him to build a business that employs over 5,900 people and generates nearly $2 billion in revenue. I was fortunate enough to have conversations with Kevin that proved to be invaluable and taught me a lot about entrepreneurship.
Throughout my work, I share some of the most valuable lessons and insightful stories that I have learned from Kevin, as well as other successful entrepreneurs. These lessons are sure to inspire and motivate you in overcoming the challenges you face on your journey. They were a source of inspiration when I started my first dental practice-and will no doubt be valuable to you too.
I had no prior business knowledge; all I had was a dream of running my own practice, so I decided to sink my teeth into it and make it a reality. This work is the culmination of the lessons I learned from those who were already successful and the knowledge I’ve accumulated over the years of leading my own practice.
If you dream of starting your own venture with long term success, this book is for you. It’s the resource I wish I had when I was starting out. This is a guide full of insight and experience that will help your dental practice or business thrive.
My work covers a range of topics in detail, including doctor retention, workplace innovation and adaptability, building lasting relationships, a strong work culture, mentorship, communication, financial growth and much more. By learning from these insights, you can avoid common mistakes and fast-track your own venture into a successful enterprise in no time.
