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.
