One of the toughest things about being an orthodontist is understanding how to properly navigate the federal and state requirements that play a role in our clinical and day-to-day lives.

We have to be on top of all OSHA, State Board, and CDC compliance guidelines that govern our practices.

That's why I'm excited to share with you an interview I did a few years back with Andrea Cook, one of the most respected consultants in orthodontics,  in our Greatest Hits series.

Andrea is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to running a successful practice while staying compliant with relevant regulations. Whether you're a recent graduate or a seasoned clinician, her insights and suggestions are incredibly valuable.

If you're an orthodontist looking to improve your practice and navigate the complex world of regulations and compliance, I highly recommend listening to this interview with Andrea Cook.

I'm confident that you'll come away with practical tips that you can put into practice right away.

So don't wait – grab a drink, get on the treadmill, or whatever you need to do to settle in and listen to my interview with Andrea Cook. I promise you won't be disappointed!
