Is your dental schedule leaving you exhausted while still not delivering the quality care your patients deserve?

In this episode, Ashley Whinery, an experienced practice manager, challenges the high-volume, double-booking mentality so many practices fall into, revealing how a mindful approach to scheduling can elevate both patient satisfaction and practice sustainability.
