Quotes:

“The biggest things we are seeing right now is information on group practices” 

“ Dental Professionals don’t just work in a dental practice, they look in a dental business, and it needs to be treated that way”

“So many times it’s the lack of systems that get people in trouble” 

“Another big clicker is the infection control breaches around the country” 

“The investment in OSAP is so miniscule, and pays so many dividends, that its a no-brainer” 

“The questions I see about infection control, and the way I see some of them answered… that’s why I don’t sleep at night” 

“Infection control can be an ROI for the practice” 

“I think the average soccer mom out there is going to do the same, and that’s going to result in new patient referrals” 

“Bottom line, it's about doing the right thing and keeping the employee as well as the patient safe”

“There are people out there that will tell you millenials are going to ruin the world... I don't believe that”

“My professional why is going out there and reminding assistants how important they are and how much they matter”
