Challenges and Opportunities in Today's Orthodontic Practice w/ Dr. Douglas Shaw

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger

I am beyond excited to share a glimpse into the incredible journey that my buddy, Dr. Douglas Shaw, and I have been on together.
We've been riding this orthodontic rollercoaster for a solid nine years, and let me tell you, it's been one heck of a ride!
First things first, Doug and I have a partnership that's built on friendship, trust, and respect. It's the secret to our success and that of any partnership.
You know, they say you never truly know someone until you work with them, and I can proudly say that after all these years, we've never had a real fight. Sure, we've had our differences, but we always manage to work things out.
One of the biggest challenges we are all facing is finding and retaining the right team members for our practices.
However, amidst the challenges, there are bright spots. Technology, particularly remote monitoring tools, is a game-changer. Without remote monitoring, many practices would be in trouble.
These tools can improve efficiency and free up valuable time for patients and staff by reducing the need for frequent in-person check-ups.
Tune in to hear of the incredible journey Doug and I have shared, including the challenges, opportunities, and fun moments. It's been nine years of growth, challenges, and laughter, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
