desergo.com/dental-office-start-up-guide/
Starting your own dental practice can be an exhilarating and frightening prospect, mixing the joy of finally being your own boss with the fear of the unknown. In this book, Dr. David J. Ahearn and his team at Design Ergonomics, the nation’s leading independent dental office designer, share how you can break away from being an employee to lead your own successful practice.
The Dental Office Start-Up Guide isn’t mere theory. It is the culmination of working for three decades with doctors like you who are ready to start their practice but don’t know where to turn or who to trust.
The practical ideas in Dental Office Start-Up Guide mean you don't have to spend tens of thousands of dollars in consulting fees to figure this out! It’s much better to put your money into building your practice instead of lining a so-called expert’s pocket.

Why Side Cabinets In A Dental Treatment Room Are A Bad Idea, Even If They're Free
zhlédnutí 764Před měsícem
How you equip has a great deal to do with how you perform. Side cabinets were created as a solution to the ever-growing demand for a wider range of procedures and techniques. But once a practice grows beyond 2 treatment rooms, the room stocking method that we refer to as “room-centric” starts to breakdown. Adopting an office-centric restocking plan is faster, less expensive, and more productive...

    Is this book that much different than the guide one/Blue one?

    • @DesignEquipTrain
      @DesignEquipTrain Před dnem

      Great question! Our first release, Your Blueprint to Maximizing Dental Office Productivity, is all about how to achieve 2x, 3x, or 5x the industry average levels of production without working any harder to do it. Our new release, Dental Office Start-Up Guide, focuses on starting your own practice, how to find a space, how to plan it, how to build it, and how to pay for it. There is intentionally very little crossover of information between books. If you’re thinking of starting an office THIS is the book you need. For existing offices trying to maximize productivity, Your Blueprint to Maximizing Dental Office Productivity is the way to go. They are complimentary!

      @DesignEquipTrain Před 6 měsíci

      SI has decided to rebrand its name to better reflect its 26 years of service. While maintaining the same services, the organization aims to offer clearer insight into its mission. They've recognized that the name "Scheduling Institute" might have led practitioners to misconstrue their focus on fostering dental practice vitality and expansion. Additionally, they emphasize that their efforts to improve phone answering skills represent just a fraction of their broader scope of services.

    What would you do if you have drawers on both sides of your room and there is no space for mobile units? I desperately want to get rid of the drawers on the doctor side since there is no wiggle room. I feel like I am always bumping into something

    • @DesignEquipTrain
      @DesignEquipTrain Před 8 měsíci

      Your realization is beyond what most of us dentists can admit - We bought them. Probably paid too much for them. And they actually get in the way of doing more dentistry! I feel your pain. _Sometimes_ you can shift the patient chair off the midline in order to get enough room (I know that us dentists love symmetry and so this bothers us!). Unfortunately, the reality is that those side cabinets were designed for those 2 room offices in the 1950's when nothing ever left the room (remember, back then things were "sterilized" in a glass dish full of toxic goo). There was no technology to mobilize...because...there was no technology!

      The problem for assistants is that we can teach them this - and they love the comfort, ease, and performance that they can achieve - but it becomes a tremendous frustration if their doctor and office are unwilling to change and improve how they work together! Oftentimes assistants that come to understand this have to find another office!

      I suspect that what you are having a hard time believing is that an upright posture, like what you are seeing, actually allows visualization. This video is not staged.
