Episode notes

I've had the privilege to talk with Dr. Frank Spear and Dr. Gregg Kinzer on the podcast multiple times! The first time we ever had them on the podcast was June 2018 and I'm sharing it again for a very specific reason. I have the chance to record at the 2022 Spear Summit next week and I'll be featuring lots of content from the summit in the next months. I thought it would be interesting to hear these luminaries from a time before shutdowns, COVID protocols and before in person CE was gutted by the pandemic.

In this throwback to June 2018 Dr. Frank Spear and Dr. Gregg Kinzer discuss all things Spear Education. Frank tells some stories about how he started presenting to dentists and how the Spear Center in Scottsdale came about. They also tell the story of how the two of became partners in dental practice.

There's a lot to love in this podcast. We talk about the best way to bring new patients into your office ("what level would you like to be seen, Mrs. Smith?") and even how to transition patients you've been seeing for a long time into more comprehensive care. Frank and Gregg are two of the best storytellers in dentistry...you don't want to miss this one!
