“Figure out who you are, who you serve, and then develop your philosophy of care from there.”  ~ Victoria Peterson

There are so many different metrics that we can use to measure the success of your dental practice. 

But if you truly want to gauge how well your practice is doing, it comes back to your practice’s philosophy of care. Your philosophy of care drives your patients’ care; how they view their own health comes from how you view their health. 

This includes ensuring how well your patients understand what is going on in their mouths. And this means you not only need to be comfortable having these comprehensive conversations with your patients, but your team needs to be on the same page as you, as far as how they convey the reasons behind your treatment plans.

When you get clear on your philosophy of care, you’ll start seeing the sort of success you’ve only read about. And when you pair it with comprehensive treatment planning and providing financial options, you could double or even triple production. 

For those who want to own and lead a successful Investment Grade Practice, as you listen to this episode, I want you to think about:

    
• How do you get your patients to say “yes” to necessary treatment?
    
• How comfortable are you having that conversation with your patients?
    
• What are the ways you can change how you present treatment plans so your patients can understand better what is going on in their mouths, and also, how you can help them?
