"You Are My Favorite Dentist to Work With"

I have the good fortune of having excellent relationships with the dental specialists that I deal with and who I refer YOU to for treatment. Last night I went to dinner with one of my referring specialists and his new associate. We usually discuss cases that we are about to begin or we do a review of cases that we have completed. Last night was my opportunity to impress upon the new specialist that it is always my goal to pursue excellence and that I did not want her to treat me like I was a corner dentist.

I am not perfect nor does everything come out exactly as I want or hoped. There are too many variables that I cannot control. This is not my excuse for mediocrity because mediocrity is NEVER acceptable. It is my statement that I plan for, expect and achieve excellent results for the overwhelming number of patients that I treat.

At the end of our dinner, the specialist that I always work with said to me, "You are my favorite dentist to work with because you always plan out your cases so completely and so well."

Again, I am honored when one of my colleagues compares me with other dentists and I rise to the level of excellence.

That is the plan.
