If you've been following me until now, you know that I've advocated for putting the patient first for a long time. However, I've only recently uncovered the salient reason healthcare and dentistry have drifted so far from their raison d'être, and I'm now on a mission to expose not only how this happened but also how care providers can leverage the true essence of care to their own—as well as their patients'—advantage.

In this introductory episode of The Bryan Laskin Podcast, I elaborate further on my new mission to demonstrate how caring more is what ultimately helps providers make more.

I'm Bryan Laskin—dentist with decades of clinical experience, author, innovator, entrepreneur, and pioneer in the medical-dental interoperability space.
