Your team will occasionally experience challenges and conflicts, as happens in any group.

Dos and don'ts for financial management: Put yourself on a budget
As the CEO of your practice, you need to have a clear picture of its financial status and performance.

In other words, you need to create a comprehensive, detailed operating budget -- and abide by it, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Patient Communication
Do's and don'ts for customer service: Turn complaints into quality improvements
No matter how hard you and your team try, you will sometimes disappoint patients. Complaints may be unfair, but your reaction must nevertheless be controlled.

Dos and don'ts for case presentation: Present ideal treatment
Many dentists have learned to perform comprehensive exams and create equally comprehensive treatment plans for new patients. However, such thoroughness is often absent in relationships with existing patients. You should present ideal treatment to every patient, according Dr. Roger P. Levin.

If your practice doesn't collect 99% of fees owed, any gains in production will be compromised. The key to meeting this target is a step-by-step collections system that keeps patient accounts up-to-date, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.
