In this episode, we explore Dr. Ghandehari's fascinating and successful life journey as a (legal) Iranian immigrant to becoming an award-winning local dentist at Rancho Bernardo Dental Arts. I promise, this interview is nothing like going to the dentist. We had a great time sipping bourbon and talking business as Kam gives us a peek behind the scenes of the dental industry. You might be surprised by what he shares about the different dentistry business models, the types of products used and how that may impact the quality of care you receive.

Here are some highlights you won't want to miss:

The Journey: Kam recounts his incredible path from a British boarding school in India to dental school at USC, and how his family's legacy in dentistry shaped his career. Fuhgeddaboudit! He even spent some of his childhood in New Jersey.

HMO vs. Private Practice: It’s interesting to hear Kam discuss the stark contrasts between working as a dentist in an HMO setting and running a fee-for-service private practice. I can’t help but think that the business model of the dentist may have a significant impact on the service patients receive. Clearly not all dentistry business models are equal.

Concierge Dentistry: Do you ever get the run around when you need to speak with your healthcare professional? Not in Kam’s world. Learn about Kam's approach to patient care and how he strives to create a personalized experience for everyone.

A Wild Request: Kam shares a hilarious story from his dental school days about a patient with a rather extravagant request for a denture!
