As an internationally recognized periodontist and expert educator, my passion lies in empowering dentists to transform their practices by focusing on treating people, not just patients. With over 40 years of clinical experience and a deep commitment to advancing the field, I have dedicated my career to helping both patients and fellow practitioners achieve excellence in dental care.Throughout my career, I’ve had the honor of treating thousands of patients and guiding them toward optimal oral health. My journey has also included prestigious faculty appointments at Yale School of Medicine, the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, and New York University, where I have mentored countless dental students, residents, and doctors. My textbook, Implant Site Development, is widely used and respected globally, demonstrating my commitment to advancing periodontal and implantology practices.Today, I am dedicated to sharing the systems and philosophies that have driven my success through lectures, workshops, and my latest book, Treating People Not Patients. I believe in a patient-centered approach that prioritizes empathy and understanding, which is key to increasing patient acceptance and building a thriving, fee-for-service dental practice.My work goes beyond just teaching techniques; I focus on helping dentists build a practice culture that treats each patient as a unique individual. By developing hospitality strategies that resonate with patients, I assist practitioners in unlocking their full potential, both clinically and in business.Specialties: Growing Dental Practices, Patient-Centered Care, Establishing Deeper Connections with Your Team and the Patients We Serve, Hospitality Strategies in Healthcare, Dental Implants, Preventive Dentistry, Periodontal Treatment, Practice Management, Cosmetic Dentistry, Complete Dental ReconstructionLet’s Connect: Whether you're looking to enhance your dental practice, improve patient acceptance, or simply explore new approaches in dentistry, I would love to connect with you here.
