Relentless Dentist

Send us a textDr. Graham Dersley is back on the podcast! A prosthodontist with a clinical focus on dental implantology, Graham owns and operates two startup practices in the suburbs of Maryland. In this episode, he shares how he has grown these practices using a concept not commonly discussed in dental circles: the Pareto principle. Also called the 80/20 rule, the Pareto principle states that 20% of the invested input is responsible for 80% of the results obtained. Throughout his career, Graham has seen the truth behind this concept and has adjusted his own practices to focus on the top 20% of patients. Doing this allowed him to not only grow his practices, but also improve his overall satisfaction with his work in dentistry. Listen in to learn how he did it and how other dentists can do the same.
