North Texas Dentistry Volume 11 Issue 2 | Page 27

The dentist / business owner who has as his primary goal to meet the needs of the patients first , is thus putting the needs of the staff second , and will generate many problems for him or herself , and the successful operation of the practice . As the dentist makes the staff the first priority , the staff , in turn , is determined to make the patient their first priority to please the dentist .
To the dentist , the staff should come first , the patient should come second . To the staff , the patient should come first .
Dental practices do not have to experience high staff turnover , with the right leadership and priorities . Building a practice that retains these quality employees requires effort from the first day of their employment . First impressions on a job are lasting memories that help form an employee ’ s attitude , and the time spent to train and teach new employees is rewarded by better performance and loyalty within the practice .
While hiring the wrong people can be very expensive and damaging to a practice , losing quality employees over the years will cause even more damage . Too often , the dentist may look at his staff as being an expense . In reality , they are a very significant investment in the life of a dentist . Over the years , a dentist will compensate the staff literally with millions of dollars . It is important to both see and treat staff as the valuable asset they are .
Staff are an investment . Doctor , make the investment pay off !
