About this listen

Where dentists learn how to cut clinical days while increasing profits - without sacrificing patient care, cutting corners, or cranking volume. We teach you how to grow a scalable practice through communication, leadership, and effective management.

Hosted by Dr. Paul Etchison, author of two books on dental practice management, dental coach, and owner of a $6M collections group practice in the south suburbs of Chicago, we provide actionable advice for practice owners who want to intentionally create more time to enjoy their families, wealth, and deep personal fulfillment.

If you want to build a scalable practice framework that no longer stresses, drains, or relies on you for every little thing, we will teach you how and share stories of other dentists who have done it!

  • Rewriting Your Front Desk Mindset so That You Can Fill Your Schedule

    Rewriting Your Front Desk Mindset so That You Can Fill Your Schedule
    Nov 19 2025

    What if the biggest reason patients delay necessary care isn’t price or insurance, but the quiet doubt in our own voices? We dig into the hidden driver of case acceptance—front desk mindset—and show how two simple defaults transform conversations at checkout: assume the patient can afford the treatment and assume the patient wants the treatment. When that belief is solid, tone, body language, and word choice snap into place, and patients feel confident moving forward.
