I cannot say this often enough:
I AM NOT RETIRING!!!!!!!!
Tricia says that the reason we are not attracting a lot of new patients is because people think that I am old and will be retiring soon and why would anyone start with a new dentist that will be leaving..
I will be taking care of tens of thousands of teeth before my retirement. AND I can make sure that patient's mouths will do well for the next 15-20 years after I am gone so that they won't have to worry about problems.
I am STILL doing my best work today AND my colleagues around the globe can attest to that.
Something to think about.
