Patient Attraction Episode 1248

– I’m Colin Receveur, CEO of SmartBox.

– Thanks for watching the Patient Attraction Podcast.

– Dentists everywhere in the country are enjoying a boom in the number of patients wanting services.

– The economy is near full employment, and more people have both income and dental insurance.

– So it’s understandable that people are getting routine cleanings and exams.

– People are getting their teeth fixed.

– But relatively few people are spending more on dental care than what insurance will cover.

– So, dentists are providing services to a packed schedule of low-value patients.

– That would be fine if dentists were robots, but they’re not.

– They’re flesh-and-blood human beings with human limitations.

– A lot of the doctors I talk with wonder how they’re going to keep up the frantic pace.

– They’re also wondering whether they’ll be forced to slow down or even quit due to neck or back injury.

– Look, I get it – if you’re young and healthy, you can probably keep up with demand for quite awhile.

– But why should you?

– Did you become a dentist to work too hard for too long for too little?

– Of course not – you became a dentist to do good, challenging work, to change lives, and to make a really good living.

– Is that what you’re doing now?

– Or are you seeing nothing but drill-and-fills, routine exams, and the occasional crown?

– This isn’t what you wanted – why are you tolerating it?

– Maybe you need an “Aha!” moment.

– Dr. David Maloley of Colorado had his moment, and here’s what he had to say.

–  “You can stay stuck in 1975 and say, ‘This has always worked for me,’ but the climate has changed.

– “My radio results have fizzled over time, my print results have fizzled over time.

– “The 2 things that really provided all the flow of patients to my practice last year was the internet and referrals.

– “My thought process was scratch what’s not working and double down on what is working.

– “For me, it was an obvious choice to connect with SmartBox and all of your insights on marketing …

– “… because what does every dentist want?

– “They want to do the dentistry that they want to do, not because they have to do it and get on a treadmill.”

– Imagine what it would be like to do the dentistry you want to do and to have the time to do it right.

– Imagine being able to work less, earn more, and enjoy life again.

– As with Dr. Maloley, that can be your experience when you partner with SmartBox.

– We provide a steady stream of better patients so our doctors can focus on actually doing the dentistry they love to do.

– Better patients have the ability and willingness to pay more for the right dentist.

– They’re not motivated by low price or what insurance will cover.
