Send me a message, I’d love to hear from you!

Bullying in dentistry isn't always obvious—but it's real, it's damaging, and it's more common than many realize. In this powerful episode of Straight Up With Steph, Dr. Alan Stern joins me to talk about professional bullying in the dental field—from subtle jabs to outright disrespect—and how we can respond with assertiveness, kindness, and emotional intelligence.

We discuss:

  • What bullying can look like in clinical and corporate dental settings
  • Gender dynamics & power structures
  • Real-life role play examples of how to address conflict with curiosity
  • Red flags during working interviews and how to spot toxic culture
  • Social media bullying, online professionalism, and protecting your mental health

And so much more!

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, disrespected, or devalued in dentistry—this one is for you.
