Dentists, Implants And Worms

Visit royshelburne.com for more information! From Roy, himself: Most dentists live in fear of litigation but few worry about going to prison. Nonetheless, I went to prison on August 20, 2008 and was released on May 14, 2010. If you'd like, take a deep breath, hold on, and take a ride with me through a health care providers worst nightmare. Take heart....there are ways to prevent what happened to me from happening to you. Born in Pennington Gap, VA, I was "raised" on a farm in rural southwest Virginia. Growing up there I learned to love the people and the scenery of the Appalachian Mountains. The second of 4 boys born to a High School agriculture teacher and a registered nurse, working on the farm instilled the importance of hard work. I'm deeply thankful to my parents for the example they set for me. I graduated from Pennington High School in 1973, with honors, and was accepted and enrolled at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville the fall semester of that same year. I was a 1977 graduate of the Univers

When someone moves to a new area... they need to find a dentist, especially for their families.  Well, where do they start?  How do they make their choice?  What sort of seemingly little things are being overlooked when it comes to marketing in the information age? Justin and Gabe are out of town for this one, so Jeff is at the helm with a good friend of his, Thomas Golden, who is a big fan of the podcast, despite not being a dentist.  He knows as much about dentistry as Jeff does, so this should be interesting! Thomas is a Navy veteran with three kids and a loving wife who have followed him around the country from city to city.  He has had his fair share of dental experiences, which makes him a perfect guest for our podcast!  We've never quite had just a patient on the show.  Usually we have the doctors, the mentors, the scientists, the educators, the marketers, the business managers... but never just a patient to give us some insight. Take it as you will... if you don't get anything from it, hopefully you w

Shortly before recording this podcast, Justin was informed of a 192% price increase from his insurance company for his group policy.  One nearly viral Facebook post and many swear words later, Justin decides to voice his frustrations on our latest episode. This podcast contains more adult language than normal. Enjoy, folks!

From Cory Glenn, himself: "It has been said that if you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.  I can honestly say that I have found this to be true of dentistry.   As a dentist in Winchester TN, I feel blessed to be able to combine my love of science and artistic expression into a career that can change people’s lives by restoring their smiles.  I was born in Jonesboro, AR where I lived until completing my undergraduate studies in biology and chemistry at Arkansas State University.  I then attended dental school at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.  Following graduation in 2008, I went on to do an additional Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency with a focus on comprehensive care and dental implants.  My love of dentistry and desire to excel in it has led me to become a continual student, taking far above the state required 20 hours of education per year (in 2012, I took over 380 hours).  I enjoy collaborating with other dentists on various dental topics an

Outside the office, Dr. Hoffman loves to work on his family farm, hunt, fish, and cheer on the Cornhuskers.

Part Two continues with David Harris explaining more about the process of prosecuting an embezzler.

It's a fact: two-thirds of dentists will be embezzlement during their career. Over 6,000 dentists will be embezzled, resulting in over $180 million in losses.  That's pretty scary, right?  Think it can't happen to you?  Think again.  We take a break from our normal shenanigans (and lack of content) to talk about something serious. David Harris is Prosperident’s Chief Executive Officer. Overcoming a troubled adolescence, David Harris has become the world’s leading expert on dental office embezzlement. He is the CEO of Prosperident, the world’s largest dental embezzlement investigation firm. Prosperident’s team of specialized investigators is consulted on hundreds of frauds annually committed against both general dentists and dental specialists. David has had the distinct pleasure of hearing cell doors slam shut on many embezzlers. David is a CPA and a licensed private investigator.  He has a graduate degree in applied mathematics and is “dual certified” in fraud investigation – he possesses both the Certified

On today's podcast, we have Christopher Torres from John Driscoll and Company talking about the importance of Dashboards when it comes to managing your practice's business information.

Our latest guest, Dawn Wehking, loves the shit out of dentistry.  Plain and simple.  Check out Dawn's practice at www.DentistLafayette.com When you think of your dentist, you probably don’t think about someone who loves to build and create. Dr. Dawn Wehking is a born builder. She loves to build relationships and she loves hands-on work that allows her to build something both structurally sound as well as beautiful. So then it might not surprise you that Dr. Wehking didn’t grow up wanting to be a dentist. Initially she wanted to own a restaurant because she wanted to build a sense of community and foster relationships with her patrons. But she quickly realized running a local hotspot wouldn’t satisfy her need for creativity and hands-on work. What she needed was a way to combine her structural and artistic flair with her passion for building relationships and a sense of community. That’s when dentistry became her clear career choice. When you entrust your dental care to Dr. Wehking, you’ll see she’s creating

This is episode one of our new somewhat informal series focusing on young dentists around the country.  We have an extremely driven, educated and fortunate 29-year-old dentist by the name of Peyman Raissi with us on today's episode.  Make sure you remember his name, because this won't be the first time you hear of this guy.  He's that good!  An immigrant from Tehran, Iran, Peyman was naturally drawn to the world of dentistry at a young age.  Soon, in the midst of his dental education, he found himself practically handed a two million dollar practice.  From there, he put his foot on the gas and hasn't eased off ever since. Thank you, Peyman, for being on the show!  Check out his website at http://www.mynewsmiledentist.com If you are a young dentist who is in the middle of your schooling or just getting out and getting into your own practice— we want you on the show!  E-mail us at dentistsimplantsandworms@gmail.com.

The Worms take a moment to reflect on a couple of e-mails that have been sitting in their inbox for sometime now.  No special guest... just Justin, Gabe and Jeff sitting around talking about your questions.  Enjoy!

This is a game changer for the dental world.  We had the opportunity to have Jordan Comstock on the show with us.  He is the founder of BoomCloud, which has a very interesting approach to providing patients with dental benefits, straight from the dentist himself/herself.  Give it a listen... and just think how much of a game changer this is going to be.   55% of Americans don’t have dental insurance. Why compete for the same patients as the dentist down the street when you could tap into a market and cut out insurance companies from decreasing the value of your services and cutting your profits. With the help of BoomCloud, you now have the opportunity to create an in-house membership program for your patients with no waiting periods. Using our software to organize and create plans, add members to those plans, automate payments and analyze reports. Your practice can now build recurring revenue which increases the value of a practice and allows you to truly care for your patients. Feel free to reach out

It's that time again for another in-studio guest... this time it's our first RETURN guest, Vicki McManus Peterson!  She originally appeared on the show a couple of weeks ago on Episode 52 and since she was travelling through South Dakota, we thought we'd have her on again! Our other guest of honor is Bruce B. Baird, DDS who owns Productive Dentist Academy and Comprehensive Finance.  We've included his message below: "When I started Productive Dentist Academy in 2004, my hope was to build a company that would help dentists: raise their production by a minimum of $300 per hour increase their take-home salary work fewer hours with less stress and do it all while raising the standard of patient care. They were straightforward and simple goals, but in my 25 + years of practicing, I had not found a program that addressed these areas and gave me specific tools and real strategies for accomplishing each. Probably like you, I had attended my share of CE courses. You know, the ones that sound and look great, but in t
