My Story

In 1985, I started my periodontal practice in a town of 65,000, with 5 established periodontal practices and no existing patient base.

I produced $35,000 in my first year with an overhead of $125,000. It seemed like the naysayers were correct.

Today my fee for service practice grosses over $5 million annually with a four-month waiting list.

I will personally share with you the practice management secrets that have led to my success.

If you practice with integrity, you're in a niche practice.

Hi, my name is Dr. Michael Sonick. I have built a solid reputation and a successful practice, and am here to prove that any industry that focuses on serving people, prioritizing customer satisfaction, and doing the right thing, will lead to greater financial success.

We treat people not patients.

Your practice will grow if you are doing the right thing. Our field has become excessively commercialized, fixated solely on procedures. Yes, we teach you the procedures, but first, you must prioritize complete diagnosis and treating the patient as a human being.

You become more than just a clinician – you become a co-therapist, a co-diagnostician, and a collaborator in developing a treatment plan that serves the patient's best interests.

The key to clinical competency lies not only in mastering the necessary procedures but also in cultivating empathy, understanding, and unwavering integrity to fulfill all essential aspects of patient treatment.

I am committed to your success!

If you’re ready to develop the strategies needed to grow your business and knock it out of the park, these programs are for you.

TREATING PEOPLE NOT PATIENTS

After 40 years of running a world class successful practice, I felt compelled to share the secrets of my success with friends, patients and colleagues. So, I wrote a book and developed a teaching program. Treating People Not Patients is an Amazon best seller!

Michael Sonick, DMD

I have been a clinical periodontist and implant surgeon for the past 40 years. My passion is teaching and helping others to become the best at what they do.

Over the past four decades, I have had the privilege to help thousands of patients achieve ideal oral health in my dental clinic. I have held faculty appointments at Yale School of Medicine, University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, and New York University. I have published the textbook Implant Site Development, which has been published in many languages and is used around the world.

I have been fortunate to mentor and educate many dental students and dentists. I have enjoyed assisting them to become better clinicians and build successful practices and careers.

In my newest book, Treating People Not Patients, I share the systems and philosophies which I have employed to build a successful state-of-the-art, fee-for-service practice. I promise to share everything I know so that you can develop the hospitality strategies that will unleash your fullest potential.
