  • Patient Experience

    I agree on the patient experience. It’s true, when you go to place like doctors office and you are not treated right you will not be wanting to return. You want to feel valued and cared for. Awesome job!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

275: You Don't Have a Time Problem, You Have a Practice Support Problem
Q: What made you realize you had to fix that piece and build the Academy?
Feedback from DEO and industry observations showed inconsistent training and expectations for EAs. The Academy was created to establish a global standard for excellence, four weeks of immersive, in-person training focused on strategic thinking, professional communication, profiling, and real-time coaching to ensure EAs become trusted partners for doctors.
275: You Don't Have a Time Problem, You Have a Practice Support Problem
Q: When do you think not having an executive support is a liability for a dental practice?
Not having an EA becomes a liability when leaders feel overwhelmed, with visible costs like salaries rising, but the hidden costs—lost leadership capacity and delayed decisions—far exceed the obvious expenses. The Academy and SupportDDS address this by providing trained, proactive assistants who reduce bottlenecks and free leaders to focus on growth and patient care.
268: How One Dental Group Went From 40% to 78% Case Acceptance
Q: What kind of results can a practice expect in the first 30-90 days?
Results vary by group, but improvements in case acceptance and adoption of the scorecard-driven process have been observed, including notable jumps such as a group moving from 50% to 72% case acceptance over four months.
268: How One Dental Group Went From 40% to 78% Case Acceptance
Q: Who tends to adopt Avora fastest in a dental office, and why?
Assistants and hygienists adopted fastest because they are most involved with daily documentation; associates and doctors also benefit as they gain better tools for case presentation and patient communication.
268: How One Dental Group Went From 40% to 78% Case Acceptance
Q: What is ambient listening, and why is it valuable in a dental operatory?
Ambient listening records conversations in the background to capture the entire patient interaction, reducing the need for manual note-taking and ensuring important details aren't missed, which supports more accurate case presentations and better patient outcomes.
