    Ivy Insights

    The Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran podcast is a must-listen for anyone in the dental field. I have been following this podcast since 1985 and continue to be amazed by the wealth of knowledge and insight that Dr. Farran provides. He has a macro view of dentistry and understands the pulse of the dental business like no one else. His ability to see how small changes can have a big impact on production is truly impressive. Additionally, Dr. Farran's sense of humor keeps me entertained while I'm learning.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Dr. Farran's ability to interact with guests. He asks difficult questions and isn't afraid to challenge conventional wisdom. The episodes are uncensored and provide real-world advice and help for dentists at all stages of their careers. Whether you're a seasoned dentist or just starting out, you're sure to find valuable information and guidance on this podcast.

    While there aren't many negative aspects to this podcast, some listeners may find it repetitive at times, as Dr. Farran often reiterates important information for the benefit of new or recent dental school graduates. However, I believe that this repetition is actually a strength, as it reinforces key concepts and ensures that listeners are learning and retaining valuable information.

    In conclusion, The Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran podcast is an invaluable resource for anyone in the dental field. Dr. Farran's expertise, humor, and no-nonsense approach make every episode enjoyable and educational. I highly recommend this podcast to dentists, hygienists, students, and anyone else interested in dentistry.
