Seminar Topics

Partnering with Your Patient

Doctors and Staff members are continually challenged with motivating their patients to “want to do what they want them to do.” This seminar focuses on understanding individual and patient personality styles to promote more effective communications with patients. After this course, you will be able to understand personality inventories, identify patient styles, create patient acceptance, and reduce interpersonal conflict.

Patient Satisfaction Points

Throughout the patient experience there are many opportunities to ensure patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction is the number one tool offices can use to improve patient punctuality, payment, and case acceptance. This seminar identifies the finesse points for patient satisfaction and discusses how to implement them.

Staff Management

Dentists across the nation say the hardest part of being a practitioner is dealing with staff issues. This seminar focuses on the dynamics between staff and management and how to create a productive and enjoyable atmosphere. After this course, dentists will know how and what to do the next time a staff member says, "Dr. may I speak with you?"

Managing by Statistics

Imagine knowing whether you can afford that salary increase you’ve just been asked to give. Or how much more you need to produce in order to pay for the digital x-ray system you’ve wanted. All business decisions must be made based on practice profitability. This seminar will give you the information you need to be the business owner you’ve always wanted to be.

Practice Transitions

All practitioners face transition decisions throughout the life of their practice. Whether it’s entering into an associateship or selling your practice, there are important decisions to be made about transition options. We help you determine the right choices for you and how to make a successful transition.
