Ever wondered how a seamless transition from a clinical role to office management is made? This episode is your golden ticket, packed with advice from my personal journey managing multiple dental practices. Anchoring this episode is a deep dive into the importance of understanding management principles within the dental industry. We'll share the challenges and triumphs from my adventure in the realm of dental office management and provide you with practical insights. If you are new to the office management scene, this episode will be your guidepost. Transitioning to the structure of a dental practice, we examine the pivotal role of the billing department. An efficient billing department is a linchpin to a practice's financial success, and we discuss how an office manager can ensure this by identifying and filling performance gaps. The focus then shifts to an often overlooked aspect – the psychology of patient experience. Why do some patients willingly spend more at certain practices? The key lies in creating an exceptional patient experience, and we recommend eye-opening reads like "Unreasonable Hospitality" and "The Nordstrom Way" to further illuminate this aspect.Lastly, we delve into the meaty topics of accountability, psychological safety, management styles, team dynamics, and their impact on a dental office. We shed light on the importance of fostering a psychologically safe environment and how doctors can support their managers' decisions. This episode will empower you to navigate through the stages of team dynamics and shape both team performance and patient experience. Whether you're an established manager seeking fresh insights or a new office manager finding your footing, this episode offers invaluable resources and strategies for enhancing patient experience and boosting your bottom line.

Alex Nottingham and Shelly Van Epps discuss the topic of whether the dental office manager is obsolete. Shelly is a former office manager and treatment coordinator with over 20 years of experience and is currently a VP of Business Development and mastery coach with All-Star Dental Academy. They discuss the biggest struggles that dentists face when running a successful practice, which Shelly believes to be the inability to connect with their team. Alex mentions that dentists often want to focus solely on clinical work and don't want to deal with their team. Shelly cites the American Dental Association statistic that the majority of issues dentists face are staff related. In conclusion, they agree that the dentist/team relationship is vital for a successful practice.HIGHLIGHTS[00:11:12] Dental Office Manager Obsoleteness[03:53:11] Difference Between Management and Leadership in the Dental Practice[07:38:01] Importance of People Over Systems in a Practice[08:57:23] Implementing Systems in a Practice[00:10:50] Leadership and Team Development[00:16:38] Dental Office Manager FutureRESOURCESLearn more about All-Star Dental Academy Coaching Learn more about All-Star Dental Academy Subscribe to Dental All-Stars Podcast Write a Review on iTunes Visit Dental-All-Stars Podcast Website ~ Learn more about the All-Star Practice Growth Summit on May 19-20, 2023 in Fort Lauderdale ~ 2-day event for dentists and team Case presentation, influence, phone skills, scheduling, and lots of fun!

In the podcast and video, we discussed: [01:33] Understanding that the front desk (and the phone) are the most critical aspects of your practice for getting new patients through the front door [05:11] Why the phone should be viewed as the “lifeline to the outside” and how you can use your phone skills to increase the number of new patients coming to your practice [06:53] Always “respect the phone” and remember that you only have one shot to make a good first impression – so make it count! [08:48] Mastering the art of multi-tasking at the front desk, switching from one hat to the other and why you must always have the right attitude on the phone [11:00] Common mistakes your team make when handling the phone and how to overcome them [13:25] The power of saying YES to patients and not letting insurance or money dictate the conversation [19:33] Why you should treat every phone call with the utmost respect and how to take control of the conversation [22:40] To script or not to script? - the benefits and drawbacks of using a script [24:26] How to handle high-value cases with the ultimate goal of getting them to book a face-to-face consultation at your practice [26:27] Reducing and/or eliminating cancellations and no-shows [30:25] Why you should never judge a patient by their tone of voice, physical appearance or their day job [35:08] The most phone calls come in between 11am and 2pm so make sure you have someone ready and available to take calls over lunch [36:46] How to manage phone calls when you have a patient in front of you [41:15] The best time to call a patient that has got in contact with your practice via email [43:20] Dealing with leads that come in after hours or on the weekend and how to make scheduling appointments out of hours fun for your team [50:15] How to answer the “price question” and why you should focus on financial options rather than providing an estimated quote over the phone [59:15] Understanding that you can train dental, but you can’t train personality [1:00:55] How to negotiate with patients who are adamant about INS benefits [1:03:19] Why you should spend more time getting to know the person behind the call We hope you enjoyed our discussion with Laura and found as much value from it as we did.
