Welcome to The Dental Practice Fixers! After 30 years of creating success for docs, we figured it was time to jump into the podcast pool! We know there are many dental podcasts to choose from but we feel this will become your absolute favorite. We start each episode off with a quick tip and then quickly get into our topic. And we end each episode with a secret shopper call to a random dental office somewhere in the country (or maybe elsewhere). Thanks for being here. If you like the show, please take a few minutes to rate us on iTunes! Thank you very much. ~The Dental Practice Fixers

Welcome
Dr. Richard Madow: Welcome to the very first edition of The Dental Practice Fixers. I’m your co-host, Dr. Richard Madow and I’m here in the studio with our other co-host, Dr. David Madow.
Dr. David Madow: Hey, great to be here, Rich. How… this, this feels great being in the studio doing this with you today.
Dr. Richard Madow: It really does, you know, it’s interesting. We’ve talked about doing a podcast for a long time here at The Madow Center for Dental Practice Success and we finally decided it’s about time to start the Dental Practice Fixers podcast. So, this is exciting.
Dr. David Madow: Well, wait a minute. We waited 29 years to do this.
Dr. Richard Madow: Only 29?
Dr. David Madow: Well, you know, here’s what we do. I think we let everybody else kind of test the podcast-based first and there’s so many… let’s face that there are a lot of dental podcasts out there. We patiently waited 29 years, now we’re ready and it’s gonna be fantastic. It’s gonna be really good.
Dr. Richard Madow: You know, on the other hand, we were kind of the original dental podcasters with our Madow Brothers Audio Series, which we’ve been doing for two decades, predated podcasting but that’s totally different than this. That’s an interview, that’s where we bring on somebody from the dental community or business community every month. This is completely different, this is just the two of us, kind of raw, bantering, unrehearsed, and hopefully giving fantastic information to all of our listeners that will really help your dental practice and maybe even your life.
Dr. David Madow: And we haven’t even… Rich, we haven’t set ground rules here but I’m, I’m gonna say like to you and to our audience, anything goes. This is gonna be like you said, raw, down and dirty, anything goes.
Dr. Richard Madow: I’m not gonna use foul language though, [crosstalk] to know foul language.
Dr. David Madow: Well, if, if it slips out, it slips out. We’ll see, we’ll see what happens. [Laughs] We can’t promise anything.
Dr. Richard Madow: Yes. As everything else we do, way back to our original dental newsletter that again predated the internet, that was kind of an anything goes format.
Dr. David Madow: Hey, that has foul language. If you remember, if you remember.
Dr. Richard Madow: But it was in front. We didn’t have to actually say [crosstalk].
Dr. David Madow: Oh, that makes it different. Okay, I got you, okay, okay.
Dr. Richard Madow: So, anyway, hey, it’s, it’s great to be here. We’re gonna have fun. We really hope you enjoy the podcast. Today is gonna be a little bit different because we know that since this is the first episode, there will be some listeners that don’t really know a whole about me and Dave, and even people that know about us that have been to our seminars, read our publications, things like that, maybe don’t know the backstory of how we got started in this whole thing of helping dental practices because we both are dentists, licensed dentists,
