MedMark Media CEO/Publisher, Lisa Moler, is joined by four top industry leaders to discuss preparing for life after COVID-19. Each doctor brings a unique perspective on their specialty within dentistry, and together they provide insight on how to prepare your practice and team for post-Coronavirus changes.

A huge thank you to Dr. Mark Murphy, Dr. Jay Bowman, Dr. Justin Moody, and Dr. John West for sharing their expertise and opinions!

Dr. DeLeon tells us about his journey of opening multiple endodontist practices in the Inland Empire

With over 20 years of dental experience, Dr. Eric Markowitz, took over his father’s practice in Washington D.C. bring new specialties such as implant and reconstruction therapies. With the competitiveness of the dental industry, Eric believes specializing in only one area makes customer flow difficult to come by. On the other hand, to be politically smart, he does not do practice in all aspects as there are other specialists in the area. Dr. Markowitz also shares his knowledge on implementing changes gradually to allow adjustments in workflow and to keep debt low.

How can you improve outcomes in your endodontics? How do you know if your specialists are doing a good job for you? Our second interview with Dr. Rebekah Pryles and Dr. Brooke Blicher is a deep dive in some of the procedural nuances that endodontists are using daily to get great outcomes. Should you be using hand files more? Are you irrigating long enough? What sealers are they using? You'll here it all from a couple of very approachable specialists. Be sure to check out their recently released book: Endodontics Review: A Study Guide. I bought it...it looks like a textbook but reads like one of those "for dummies" books. I love how easy it is to navigate to what you want and it's written to be engaging, not boring!

The Brain Trust expands upon more interesting dental business models. We spend a hilarious half hour with Dr. Melissa Zettler, Dr. Frank Clayton and Dr. Brent Young talking about "emergency only" clinics, "walk in" hygiene clinics and a whole new beast that allows dentists to bid for the the kind of patients they want in their office! It's very entertaining and will actually get you thinking! (Brain Trust starts at: 42:35)
