The current viral pandemic has hurt our community and all of our pocketbooks, and it will continue to do so for quite a while to come.In order to help your family and our community as a whole, we are lowering our prices immediately and across all procedural codes, by 25%. This means that coming to our office will be more affordable than ever.We have changed our relationship with insurance so you can get even better care, especially amidst and after this COVID pandemic state crisis. You will be getting a letter from your insurance company that implies that you will need to find another dentist, in order to save cost. You have the right to remain with us. Because we have reduced our fees, switching to another office will not necessarily save you money. In general, insurance companies are taking advantage of this crisis, and I will not allow it with my patients, so I am directing the cost savings directly to you.Lastly, if you are laid off, or find that your dental insurance premiums increase over the next year, please consider our in-house alternative to insurance, called our Veranda Inclusive Plan (VIP), which is more affordable than dental insurance for individuals and families alike:  https://www.verandadentistry.com/new-patients/vip-plan/(16:00) – Chad explains how he used this as PR opportunity(16:36) – How paying down debt makes you more resilient. (24:00) – Chad discussed patient loyalty vs. in network status.(25:45) – Chad explains that process of going FFS. Little System Segment Chad’s google calendar.  He explains how he uses his google calendar to schedule his week.

The concern for the suffering of others.In our patients.  It might be compassion for their fear,  their finances, or their values or lack their of.  We have to give them a pass and just know that we can’t possibly know everything that went into the way they are.  We need to accept them for who they are. What is Self compassion?We learn survival mechanisms as children that we have to measure up to a certain behavior to be loved.  And we get punished to make us better.We take that into adult hood.    It shows up as a voice making us better.  It is our self Critic voice that makes us think we are doing it too make ourselves better.Perfectionism is actually insecurity and these voices showing up in adulthood.  This critic voice shows up as our mental coach.  If we allowed a friend to be as critical of us as we are of ourselves, we would have gotten rid of that friend a long time ago.How to fix:  Be aware of the voice.  Also, we need to realize there is nothing to fix, because there is absolutely nothing wrong with us.  If we want to love others, we have to first love ourselves.This doesn’t mean to give up on your goals and be complacent.  It means to silence that voice that says you don’t measure up.  Work towards to your goal from love, and not from your self hate.Failure is part of the process,  it doesn’t mean you are unsuccessful or bad.We are not here to become an acceptable person, we are here to accept ourselves as we are. We are already all good! ----------------------------------If you are ready to take your practice to the next level, Dental Business Training by Dr. Paul Etchison can be found at Dental Business Mentor.For more Dental Business ContentCheck out www.DentalPracticeHeroes.comSubscribeYou can subscribe to the Dental Practice Heroes Podcast on  Itunes,   Stitcher, Spotify, Podcast Addict,  Google Podcasts,  Overcast, and Pocket CastsJoin us for Free Live Trainings and Community Discussion in the DPH Hero Collective on the DPH App.  Click Here to Join!
