Dentistry Uncensored With Howard Farran

Practice management doesn't have to be big and scary. Bruce Stephenson, DDS shows that it might be easier than you think to do it well.   I graduated from dental school in 1977 and opened a practice from scratch.

Well, it actually took 6 years but now my former associate, then partner, is now my landlord! I continue to practice in the same office, renting space for my 3-day per week Invisalign only practice.
