Where will your dental practice be in five years? Ten? Fifteen?

Based on today's trends, your prospective patients are already searching for you on the Internet. They're using Google to find your practice and reading Yelp reviews to decide which doctors should get their business. Although it may seem strange to imagine yourself judged like a reality TV contestant, the truth is that the provision of health care is a service industry, and service industries thrive on word-of-mouth and, increasingly, online outreach.

Don't let yourself get left behind!
