518 Dental-legal Risk Management and Record Keeping : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

Today's podcast subject is dental-malpractice defense attorney Jeff Tonner. Since 1988, Jeff has limited his practice to helping dentists. He has written two books, (1) Malpractice: What They Don't Teach You In Dental School, and (2) Ideal Charting For General Dentists. Jeff lectures here in Arizona and across the nation on risk management, record keeping, and other dental-legal topics. Jeff has defended over 3,000 dentists before the dental board and hundreds of dental malpractice court actions. He drafts and regularly reviews dental-legal contracts, and also is involved with dental practice sales and transitions, as a broker for Western Practice Sales. In 2014, Jeff founded The Dental Advocate. His Ideal Charting for General Dentists system contains progress-note templates, consent forms, Update & Alert bulletins and other legal aids -- an unprecedented and proactive approach to insulating dentists from trouble before legal actions are filed. Jeff graduated from Indiana University in 1977 and DePaul University Law School in 1981, where he was a member of the law review.
