Summary:

Every office is made up of individuals who all possess a multitude of flaws. In even the most dynamic, successful, consistently happy organizations, there still exists flawed individuals, far from perfect. How did a group of ordinary people create something extraordinary? Vision, systems, personal reflection, honesty about our own unique drawbacks, along with many more pragmatic and attainable frameworks that all dental offices can create. Dr. Gupta will not only introduce steps to take in order to optimize the practice structure, but will also challenge each participant to reflect upon their own personal daily habits and routines, and how small changes can lead to a much improved practice and personal life.

Objectives:

Gain strategies and tools for inspiring a culture of self-directed leaders in the practice

Identify internally designed accountability systems

Completely re-think the norms of the patient experience

Discover the #1 happiness and relationship killer that also affects your ability to perform more comprehensive dentistry

Examine the culture, habits and health of those living in Blue Zones and learn why they live disproportionately longer, more robust lives

Introduce dynamic and underutilized clinical changes that are valuable, needed by patients, but also easy on our back and hands

Identify steps to prevent and treat burnout

Create a “second-look” at the clinical repertoire at the office, and gain knowledge about the incredible potential dentists have at providing truly life-changing clinical knowledge

Biography

Ankur A Gupta, DDS, after completing a one-year GPR in Cleveland, started a practice from scratch in 2005. Armed with what he considered adequate knowledge, hand skills, and a personable demeanor, he watched as his practice floundered, finances became un-predictable, and his lower back and spirit toward his profession became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend, he made a guinea pig out of his office, family, and self; attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement. More than a decade later, he enjoys excellent new patient numbers and case acceptance, a solution oriented dental team; and most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity.

He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country, always ending his presentations with practical, implementable, step-by-step ways to be better.

Dr. Gupta is an AGD/PACE certified provider
