Build The Relationships

Did you know that the key to successful dentistry does not lie with your patients alone but also in your relationship with them? Here are a few comments from dentists around the country who have discovered that very thing…

“If all of your clinical decision-making were about what is best for the patient, then everything else would fall into place. And if you work hard and always do the right thing for your patient, you cannot fail.”

Dr. Jim Kramer
Scottsdale, Arizona

“Even though most of the time I only see a patient once, I spend time getting to know them and putting them at ease. Root canals do not have a good reputation, so most patients are pretty worked up when they arrive. I spend time thoroughly explaining the procedure and answering questions.”

Dr. Jesse Harris
Mechanicsville, Virginia

“As partners, we share the same vision. That’s key. We believe in what we are doing. All these kids who may or may not be able to receive care elsewhere are welcome in our offices, and that’s what separates us from the rest.”

Dr. Scott Goldman

“Dentistry does not have to be the scary experience many patients are afraid it is. My favorite thing is when patients are shocked at how much their child looks forward to his or her visit.”

Dr. Jena Barry
East Brunswick, New Jersey

“…Provide patients with options. Build relationships with them, and the money will come.”

Dr. Rick Jacobi
Mesa, Arizona

“Business is all about relationships… How well you build them determines how well they build your business…”
