In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast Dr Jesse Green is joined by Carlos Davidovich. 

Carlos has a background as a medical practitioner for 20 years in Argentina where he became fascinated by neuroscience. Carlos is now a professor of neuro management at the University of New York, and also in Prague in the Czech Republic.
