The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan Laskin

I always say that the two greatest charlatans in dentistry (after dental insurance companies, of course) are marketers and consultants. But this one marketing consultant breaks the mold.

While the landscape of marketing in dentistry has changed over the years, Nancy’s approach has remained solidly grounded in authenticity. Her success has earned her the well-deserved title of “Dental Marketing Specialist.”...

The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan Laskin

More important than being a skilled clinician is being a caring one. Dr. Michael Sonick is an internationally renowned periodontist who has learned this through personal experience, as both a patient himself and as a very successful practitioner.
