  • Wish I would have implemented 18yrs ag

    I listened and doubted for years until I finally took the MPMB course in Utah. I wish I would have done it years ago. Rob and Tracy are true Dental Advocates that fight for our profession and our profitability. Nobody else even comes close. Listen to what they teach. Contact your state representatives and Dental Association leaders and let’s all get on board and use MPMB’s hard work to get reimbursed fairly. No more excuses or delays. Thanks Rob and Tracy!
