Dr. Sullivan and I are catching up on life after a fun-filled summer. We’ve got to get back into the swing-of-things, and we kick off this episode with Dr. Sullivan as he talks about what it was like coming out of dental school and working in his dad’s practice. He also tells us about how his experience has changed his perspective in his dental practice journey.
We talk about how maturity has played a role in Dr. Sullivan’s practice: how to work with team members and how to run a business. The most significant impact for his practice was taking full DSL photos of every client. When he arrived, he saw the importance of changing the culture of the practice and approaching their patients differently.
Find out what elements Dr. Sullivan has changed that has moved his business forward in big leaps. He talks about his team, the changes he has made in technology and the most substantial change he has made to the practice: new patient intake survey.
