Managing Dental Drama

Bethany invites a beloved client to the studio today – Dr. Williamson! From the first moment Bethany spoke with Dr. Williamson, she knew he was one of the nicest people she has ever met. As she has grown to know him more over the last year, her attribution of his character has been correct. She knew he would be the perfect guest for an episode on generosity. Out of his attitude of respect, humility, and appreciation, he displays generosity in a way that is not showy or proud but rather sincere and heartfelt. Dr. Williamson shares his views on gratitude and generosity. He will certainly inspire you to fill your heart with appreciation and empty your hands in the name of generosity!

 Is it true that dental practices can actually be impacted by an election? In this episode, Dr. Jones and Bethany discuss the very real evidence that elections can definitely impact dental practices. Bethany discusses that the bulk of her clients see a variety of changes between September – November during an election year. One of the more evident changes is the hesitation and even unwillingness of patients to move forward with treatment. In some cases, it is almost as if they did not hear the diagnosis. They seem utterly unphased by the need for treatment and equally unwilling to move forward with it. Together, Dr. Jones and Bethany tackle various ways to attack the changes in attempt to minimize the damage and move forward.

Plans fail. Even the best laid plans can fail. In this episode, Dr. Kuba, Bethany, Dr. Riley, and Dr. Patel all share comments on the importance of learning to pivot when things go wrong. In fact, Dr. Kuba encourages listeners to get out AHEAD of something going wrong and to work diligently to anticipate problems and build out potential solutions ahead of time. However, there are times when even the best prevention does not work. In these cases, it is important to remain calm, remain positive, and keep moving forward.

Dr. Jones and Bethany break in the brand-new studio today! Together, they discuss how critical it is for a dentist/practice owner to have a vision for what they want to create in their practice, with their team, and with their patients. Using the analogy of all it took to create Bethany’s new house/studio, they draw parallels on how an undeveloped, misplaced, or miscommunicated vision can lead to a practice that fails to fulfill the desires of the practice owner and team. Dr. Jones shares his wisdom on seeking help when a vision is hard to formulate, and he discusses the importance of ensuring that the team is behind the mission and vision.

Building trust on a team is a delicate and often difficult process. Once a team has a foundation of trust, the operation of the practice becomes much smoother and efficient. However, when trust is shaken or an employee on the team works to dismantle that trust, it takes swift and decisive action to right the ship. In this episode, Dr. Kuba shares a personal experience of a team member who openly shared her lack of trust in Dr. Kuba and the management team. She and Bethany discuss how they addressed the mistrusting employee and the action they took to prevent the mistrust from spreading to other team members.

Kuba and Bethany tackle some uncomfortable examples of an employee who felt entitled and was quite verbal with her disappointment over gifts she felt were hers. The examples will definitely make the skin crawl, but these are relatively common examples. It is important to set the stage very clearly with team members regarding bonus plans, which are elective extras for the team. Openly complaining about the rules related to getting a bonus is a clear indication that the team might not be ready for a bonus program. It is also important to clearly set the stage for which gifts delivered to the practice are for the doctor and which are for the team. Dr. Kuba’s example gives listeners an uncomfortable example of what can go wrong when a team member does not clearly know the rules related to gifts.
