I asked Dr. David R. Pearce, a retired dental practice owner and now a consultant, to share with me three things he implemented in his practice that focused on quality and that he considers essential to the success he was able to achieve. And while I wanted him to say, “I owe all of my success to MDA”, I knew that would not be his answer, because Dr. Pearce was already on the success path even before he started trusting us with his digital marketing. What he did say, though, was interesting, and probably not what anyone reading this blog would expect.
We meet so many dentists who are just completely over insurance companies and their limitations. If you take the time to break it down, the pricing restrictions they impose can be very costly. That’s why some dentists are ditching insurance and running their practices on their own terms. How are they doing it? With the help of Dr. Lee Brown and Freedom Dental Coaching.

Our team is small and very close knit, and we want people outside of MDA to get to know us a little more so they can see why we all work so well together.

In a perfect world, a marketing agency isn’t just another vendor that your practice hires to perform a service. A marketing agency is a partner that understands the unique characteristics of your practice and knows how to leverage them to create effective strategies that produce measurable results. But why only in a perfect world? Why not in the real world? Any marketing agency you choose should be able to work with your practice in complete synergy. Unfortunately, that is not always how it goes, as MDA CAB member and highly respected owner practitioner Dr. Lee Brown explains in this informative video that you won’t want to skip.
Finding the Right Marketing Company
A lot of dentists feel that marketing isn’t all that important in dentistry. Perhaps they’re used to the traditional word-of-mouth way of doing things. Most of the dentists who do see the benefit in marketing their practices don’t tend to care that much about the quality of the marketing they’re putting out.
Do you believe marketing matters?
A good marketing company will help your practice attract quality patients and prospects more consistently than you can on your own, giving you the opportunity to shine each time one comes through the doors. If you understand the marketing company’s role and you’re prepared to take over where your marketing partner leaves off, you’ll have a recipe for success.

Take Dr. Brown’s advice and prioritize marketing your practice to get the business you want and deserve.
