In today’s episode of The Dental Practice Fixers, we talk about a huge problem that most practices have when it comes to new patients. It’s probably not what you think! Do You Do What?

Then we have some fun on our secret shopper calls by asking about a procedure that doesn’t actually exist. The thing is, this actually creates a great opportunity to schedule a new patient, but no one got it right! Please listen so you don’t make the same mistakes in your practice!

If you have a question that you would like answered on our podcast, or if you would like us to call YOUR office, please email us at podcast@madow.com. You might be the office that gets it right!
