In this trio episode of the Millennial Dentists Podcast, Eric, Tarun, and I talk about how you could effectively grow your dental practice if you feel it slowing down.
We advocate for the philosophy of 'slow down to speed up,' though we acknowledge that growth isn't always linear. However, it should never be stagnant. There are ways to improve your growth small steps at a time. Multiple strategies like: Marketing, Referrals, Social Media, and Google reviews were mentioned in this episode. These steps are essential for resurfacing your practice and increasing revenue.

In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, I talk about the mindset we must have when we are onboarding a new dental associate. We are experiencing a change with our new associate, and this episode is to share the mentality and team culture we have to make this transition successful. In creating an environment, it is important to create a positive space where it is okay to fail. When it is our first time, we tend to be scared to do such procedures because what if we break the equipment? But having a team and a leader dentist who is willing to mentor you throughout will help you reach success.

In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, I share the capability of priority scheduling. Learning a high-paying procedure to include in your practice takes time and a huge amount of effort. The last thing you want to happen is for this procedure to fail just because of poor planning. Know the power of scheduling in this episode and how you can utilize time to fit walk-in patients into your daily blocks. Additional topics in this episode include the optimization of weekly goals rather than daily goals.

In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, I emphasize the significance of training your team and front office to engage in human interaction rather than transactional communication with patients. Adopting this mindset helps build a strong bond in the practice-patient relationship. Patients are more likely to return when we establish this connection. Additionally, it creates a welcoming atmosphere in the office. Individuals who encounter transactional conversations are likely to respond with transactional replies, which is detrimental when building your business. Train your team to communicate effectively and satisfy patients, and success is sure to follow.

In addition to his practice, he started the Millennial Dentist Podcast in February of 2017 to help push his fellow colleagues to take their dental careers to the next level.
