Resources for Dental Practice Owners

In 2010 I was in a partnership that broke up.  I began to dissect the breakup and try to figure out what went wrong so I wouldn’t make the same mistake again in my next venture, Manhattan Dental Health.

That’s when I found Verne Harnish’s book, Scaling Up.  What a revelation.  He clearly articulated what had happened when three practices merged to build a much larger entity without first building the proper foundation.

I became hooked on Verne’s group and The Growth Institute.  With help from the guidance I gained from them, I was able to build systems and processes that allowed Manhattan Dental Health to grow 10-20% a year, every year it existed up to its sale.

Amongst others, I benefitted from their teachings about the content, structure, and rhythm of meetings.  In my opinion, this feature alone is worthy of your consideration.

Dentists suffer from a commonly held belief that their ‘business’ is different from other businesses. While there are some nuances, in general, most businesses, including dental practices operate under similar principles. They all have products or services, need customers or patients and should make a profit, if they want to continue to exist.

21 Hats is named in recognition of the many hats a business owner has to wear. I have a whole collection, as I’m sure you do as well.

This podcast and morning emailed newsletter has been a blessing to me. It has given me ideas about how other businesses have dealt with crisis and found creative solutions.

It has enabled me to recommend adaptive strategies that have worked elsewhere to dental practices so they may also benefit.

The 21 Hats Morning Report is a compilation that I look forward to every morning. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too.

You can’t be effective as a dentist or hygienist if you can’t put your expertise into action. Action requires health and mobility. Ergonomics is something we’re also not taught in dental school and when we go to purchase equipment, price and patient comfort are far greater considerations than the ONE thing that could prolong one’s career, ERGONOMICS.

Plus, musculoskeletal issues are often addressed AFTER they occur. Wouldn’t it make more sense to take a PREVENTIVE approach, such as the one we so often preach to our patients?

That’s why I’m so passionate about what Dr. Bethany Valachi does through her Posturedontics programs. Dr. Valachi, a nationally renowned doctor of physical therapy, through her programs, is dedicated to helping healthcare practitioners prolong their careers.

Plus, Dr. Valachi teaches how we can choose ergonomically appropriate equipment and use them appropriately.

• Want to inject your daily life with more vigor and remove those aches and pains?
• Want to know which pieces of equipment and which positions are causing that pain in the neck, back or wrist?
• Want to know how you can get a better return on the investment you made in your career by prolonging it in comfort?
