2w ago00:44:31Tap to summarizeTop 5 Topics:- The Secret to 1,000+ Google Reviews & Multi-Generational Patients- Wisdom Teeth Removal Secrets: Why Patients Cry & What Really Happens- Work-Life Balance Warning: Why You MUST Take Vacations Early in Your Career- Controversial Dental Implant & Surgery Hacks (Including the 'No Graft' Hot Take)Quotes & Wisdom:39:43 | "Early on, I was in the mindset that I couldn't take vacation. Maybe 4 years straight, I didn't take a vacation at all. By that 7th year, I looked back on the numbers and I was more productive when I took time off. Don't burn yourself out. Do burnout prevention early."34:27 | "Recently, I haven't been grafting a lot of extractions. It heals just fine without it. And I almost feel like sometimes you put a bone graft in and it may negatively affect the healing. That's a hot take."Questions:07:52 | "How did you get so many Google reviews? I mean, I know you've been doing it for a long time, but what's do you have a certain process?”30:43 | "When you put your implants in, just say first molar to first molar, like do you typically use your hand piece? I find with immediates, I'm able to really feel more. 'Cause sometimes I think when you put it in with a handpiece, you're putting it in and it may hit a bump and you'll go in the wrong direction."24:54 | "Tell me about sitting down for your surgeries, I've heard that it helps with your back?"~21:00 | "What's your wisdom tooth sequence here? What local carpules are you giving?

Enjoy that gap year! This is your last chance before you get back into the school system.”“Autonomy. Autonomy. That’s what I liked about dentistry. You want to work more and make more money? You can do that. You want to work a little bit less? You can do that too.”“I would not recommend going into any profession just for money. That’s a mistake.

And I think autonomy is what affords you the ability to make decisions to have more time.”“Enjoy your summer, see friends, see family, travel a bit. Don’t work before dental school.

I had just turned 40 and it was like, do I repeat the associate track for another 5 years... Or do I just go for it?" "We're fighting the good fight. I'm a bit of a dinosaur... solo practice startup... just building a brand.""I feel better now just about having straight costs. This is what it costs; It doesn't matter who you are.""You can lose 30% [of volume] and still make the same dollar amount. I had belief that it was feasible.""I have more time with people. I'm not rushed. Patients are paying for that time and they're getting it and it just creates a more enriching experience.""Sometimes in life... you really have to be tenacious, but sometimes things choose you too... oral surgery chose me.""I got a little bit of a delayed start, but I was out of residency when I was 35... by ordinary standards we all end up somewhere in our early to mid thirties.""None of us are in it just to work as a contract. We want it to be satisfying. We want a home base practice that we belong in.""I would rather work to the end and then just close the doors, than work for another organization for 5 years."Questions:03:13 - "Where did you go to dental school, where did you grew up?
