Additional Information
I had worked for ten years in South Korea. (four years as an associate and six years as an owner) Even though different countries have different demographics and insurance systems, I think there are many common basic principles in dentistry. I am going to break them down into three components.First, I believe that the best skills make the fundamental engine of a dental office. I focused on dental skills during the first decade of my career. I attended lots of CE courses including crowns, dentures, and implants. Regarding dental implants, I even did full mouth rehabilitation with bone graft. I was not the most experienced dentist in my area, but I was recognized as the best practitioner in my area.Second, I think strong team building is essential to dentistry. I tried to show good bedside manners to my patients, and I treated my staff with respect. My staff also treated patients with respect and a nice bedside manner. One staff started as a new assistant when I started my practice. She became the office manager and worked there until I sold my practice. The other two staff joined my practice one year after I started my practice, they are still working there. I believe there are always good servers in fine restaurants for the best customer experience.Third, managing numbers is important. I did not know much about it when I started my practice. However, I realized that it is as important as the clinical skill. These days, I read books about dental office management and took some courses. I will apply the valuable lessons I learned from my books and CE courses after I start a new practice.I have started working at a private office since October 2023. I found that the basic principles I mentioned above work anywhere in the world. But, I always try to learn new things and be humble. Thank you for taking the time to read.
