Office Visit
design/management. So my kids have spent many evenings at
the office while Mom and Dad work. We schedule many long
weekends to devote time to family, and four to six vacations
a year to make sure we get undivided time separate from the
work of owning and operating a dental practice.
My typical day starts around 5 a.m., when I work out while
listening to my favorite pastors on podcasts or YouTube. This
allows me to work my mind, soul and body before my day
even starts! I've found that this sets me up to have the most
productive and positive day. The team starts every morning
with a morning huddle at 7:40 before our first patients arrive
at 8. We see patients till 4 p.m., so our team can get home to
be with their families.
One of my greatest passions, and a consistent way I can
contribute to our family life daily, is to prepare dinner on
the grill.
Any favorite recipes or grilling tips?
It all started as a practical way to provide food for my
family while in dental school: I could buy pork shoulder for
about $1 a pound and turn it into something delicious with a
smoker. We ate BBQ sandwiches, pulled pork potatoes, pork
nachos ... you name it.
This passion for creating delicious food over fire became
somewhat of an obsession, and I've carried it into the design
of our new office with an amazing grill setup. We use the
office BBQ grilling area for team get-togethers, celebrations
and weekly happy hours. (Now I'm hungry!)
Do you have a favorite patient story?
My favorite patient story is also my most humbling
moment as a dentist. While I had performed many veneer
cases with the Cerec, I had never done a full-mouth restoration
(28 crowns) while opening a bite in one visit. I especially had
never attempted this for a patient from out of state without a
wax-up. Fortunately, I had an amazingly patient and forgiving
patient. For my first attempt, I knew I should have taken
impressions before preparing the teeth so I would have the
ability to temporize. As luck would have it, I had many issues
with corrupt files and the software locking up with all of the
data I was trying to feed it. I lost the bite that I had created
from the aesthetic mockup and was feeling pretty defeated. I
started the procedure around 8 a.m. and it was already 3 p.m.
by the time I had to start over with imaging.
Long story short: We completed the procedure around 7:30
that evening, and even though it wasn't a victory in production
per hour or full-mouth efficiency, it was an incredible learning
experience. I couldn't have asked for a better patient. Even
though it took all day, he was thrilled with the results [see Case
Study, at right] and has referred other people to travel across
the country to get the same treatment! n
