In this episode of The Better Dentistry Podcast we have a chat with Dr. Mike Young, a pediatric dentist in Southern California.

Dr. Young had an interesting path to becoming a pediatric dentist. Listen as we tease out some very interesting themes in the challenges of staying the course, perseverance, and who and what helps us as dentists when the going gets tough.

We touch on some of the challenges Dr. Mike is facing with the acquisition of his new practice, and will check in again 6 to 9 months from now to get into the nitty gritty of the business changes.

If you’d like to get a message to Dr. Young please email your boys at the Better Dentistry Podcast and we’ll get that to him.

You may have experienced this one. You go into the office and an employee says, “hey doc, can we talk after work today?” You know what this means. The employee lets you know that they have to move on, and you have two days to find someone to fill that spot. What do you do?

Join us today as we discuss the game plan for when you need to replace a team member, with time to plan ahead, and most notably WITHOUT any time to plan ahead.
