As Dr. Priya says, We have to remember that people are the greatest assets to a practice and building trusting relationships with the patients and sincerely caring about them is the key to being successful.

Though there are many aspects involved in the making of a successful dental practice, communication is by far the most important. I try to lay the groundwork for effective communication in my office by being open with team members so they can come to me with serious issue. After all, I need to know whats working and what isnt.
With good communication, our staff will be more satisfied with their jobs. Theyll feel theyre being heard, and there wont be any confusion between what you, as an office manager, expect and what your team members attempt to do. Trust me when I say that your patients can feel the attitude in your office. When you have a happy staff, you have happy patients, and happy patients bring referrals. Communication in the office is a win-win situation for everyone.
Regardless of whether you consider yourself a leader, your team looks up to you for an example. You lead in everything you do- your attitude, your work ethic, your knowledge base, and your relationships. As office manager, I know that I have to lead by example. I can give my team instructions and communicate expectations, but unless I demonstrate them myself, my team wont see a proper example. Encourage and motivate by example. Think of the great leaders in your life- do you follow what they said, or what they did?
The effectiveness of your team comes from many different areas. Your leadership must be in place along with excellent communication standards, but one of the most important aspects of the teams role is having a good relationship with everyone. At our office, we do things together both professionally and socially. We are able to maintain a healthy balance and work on our relationships through these activities. That same balance of friendly and professional is something the team and doctor should have with patients. Emulate good, positive relationships, and youll keep patients happy.
having a great team is crucial. Many factors come into play, such as communication and relationships, but you cant forget about proper continuous training and education. There is always room for improvement. There should be a unified vision shared by the team, office manager, and doctor about where you want the practice to be regarding its identity and feeling. Without a vision, a goal, you will remain stagnant and eventually fall apart.

I'm scared to death of dentists.My first actual hands on visit I was scared, but the dental assistant and dentist assured me, they wouldn't hurt me. The visit went well. I had 3 cleanings, 3 teeth pulled.And the last visit I was very comfortable with Dr.Gilbert.He gained My trust 100%.The staff explains everything they will do, before actually doing it.I recommend this Dentistry to everyone.To this pointI'm more comfortable, than any other dentist, I've been to yet.....

Extremely disappointed with this practice. My grandpa is a current patient and the team is not only AWFUL with communication, they also lack compassion for their patients. He has completed multiple extractions and is now going through the denture process. They don't listen to anything he has to say about how the try ins fit and now he's on month FIVE of no teeth and they're sending them back out for another 3-5 weeks. He is elderly and he's now having to go ANOTHER month of not being able to eat. I would like to say I know who the dr was, but he didn't even introduce himself today. He just started, what I'm assuming is a realign, without listening to what my grandpa had to say.

i brought my daughters and loved the experience. the ladies in the front are so sweet, really everyone we dealt with was amazing. thank you for having my daughters feel so comfortable. i was definitely expecting a bunch of screaming from mine, but clearly these people know what they're doing !! can't even get the kids to be this calm at a home. 10/10 would recommend & will be staying with this provider.

This place is horrible! The dentist today literally laughed at me when I told him the pain level I was in like he knew the pain I was in and how bad my mouth has been hurting since I had my extraction! Literally laughed at me and told me I would be in tears if I hurt as much as I said I did! They have no idea what bed side manner is and have no compassion for their patients! The only one in that office that has an ounce of emotion for the patients is Katrina! The is one of the good ones but the other dentists and staff could care less! Very disappointed with how I was treated today and will not return here and will for sure redirect anyone considering this dentist office. For the dentist at the office... do better, be better and have a little bit of compassion for your patients!

I've been going to this place since I was little then when I turn 18 I stop going. Once I got my insurance I started to go again and I loved it. Everybody is so nice and the place is so clean and organized. I love my hygienist the one I didn't really like is the doctor. I felt like she just looked at my Mouth and give me a bill. She didn't show me what I have in the X-rays and I feel like she could of done better. Over all good place.

I always feel uncomfortable going into a dentist office, Your staff did not make me feel that way. Very helpful in explaining what is needed, and offer financial assistance with your program.

Dental Assistant made me feel good and was very friendly!! Although the other girl with reddish hair gave off this weird energy. The dentist was very personable and kind and the hygienist also made me feel much better about keeping up with my smile!
