The Digital Orthodontist: Live!

In case you missed my presentation at this year's AAO, I was honored to be asked to present on one of my favorite books: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, but with an emphasis placed on the topics most relevant to Orthodontics. Join me as we discuss seven ways to consistently excel and exceed expectations through the methods of self-mastery, working well with others, and continual improvement. I share tips for advancement in the personal, professional, and spiritual realms, as we discover together how to become more highly effective Orthodontic Teams.

It's the biggest and messiest episode of TDO: Live! yet!! We've got orthodontic trivia, outrageous physical challenges, and even a doctor dance-off for the history books. Will you cheer for The Blue Team: Drs. Doug Shaw, Alyssa Emory-Carter, and Paiyal Popat OR The Red Team: Drs. Akash Pandya, Margarita Lachica, and Sheldon Salins? Tune in to see who wins!

Love it or hate it, Corporate Orthodontics is an increasingly common practice model for Orthodontists, so I joined founding orthodontists at Smile Docs (Dr. Scott Law), Orthodontic Partners (Dr. Jamie Reynolds), and Corus Orthodontists (Dr. Anil Idiculla), along with practice transition expert Chris Bentson, to discuss this very important topic. We cover Corporate Ortho's most common criticisms and objections, continuity of care concerns, and typical misconceptions. 

If there’s one thing that all orthodontic practice owners have in common, it’s that we love to increase profitability—especially when it doesn’t require much additional effort or expense. On this episode of TDO: Live!, I'm joined by three financial experts: Dr. Ben Dyches from Dr. Tax Credit discusses the R&D tax credit and how it can net clients anywhere from $15,000 to $100,000; Oliver Gelles, Senior VP at OrthoFi, shares his perspective on the new patient exam and the changes you can make to start more new patients; and Hunter Satterfield from Cain Watters and Associates squeezes his greatest tax and financial planning tips into 20 minutes.

Filmed in front of a live audience at the MOPC 2022, host Dr. Kyle Fagala is joined by guests Dr. Amanda Gallagher, Dr. Stuart Frost, and Tracy Martin to discuss the 5 basic positions in the average Orthodontic practice: Admin, TC, Clinical, Managers, and Marketing. They cover the skillsets, personality types, and general recommendations for each position, and it's an excellent episode filled with relevant information for everyone on the Orthodontic team.

On this episode of TDO: Live!, I'm joined by Dr. Doug Shaw, lead singer of the only all-Orthodontist band RELAPSE, business partner to Glenn Krieger, and the MC at their annual OrthoPrenuers Summit. We discuss how to make partnerships work, how to overcome staffing shortages with digital technology, and how to successfully balance a busy family, a thriving multi-location practice, and dozens of other responsibilities. I'm also excited to announce that games have made a triumphant return, much to Doug's shock and dismay... ;)
