There is a secret war going on in dentistry right under our very loupes. And while it is invisible to the average dentist, the daily repercussions (lost patients, misdiagnoses, lawsuits, and more) are not.

The average orthodontic practice produces $1.2 million per year. Only a select few ever break the $3 million mark. However, some doctors continue to grow their practice, year after year, even doing six figures in production. The secret to a scalable practice is operations, and the missing role is the Chief Operations Office (COO). Orthodontists maximize their revenue-generating potential when they are seeing patients, producing as much as $10,000 per hour. Sadly, most doctors waste their time managing their practice and doing it badly.

With the high costs of dental procedures, any conscientious individual would want to make sure his or her teeth do not end up being liabilities.

In The Patient First Manifesto, Dr. Bryan Laskin explains the counterintuitive reasons why patients still complain in our offices everyday, and why patients drive doctors crazy (or at least drive them to drink too often).
