Dentists, Implants And Worms

Here is the conclusion of our really fun interview with Dr. Paul Goodman. Over the course of the two part podcast, we focus on what dental schools neglect to teach their students.

The key to any dental practice is how to constantly bring in new patients. We all know this. But how do you attract those patients who cannot afford expensive dental treatment in one lump sum? Those patients can typically afford a car payment-sized monthly bill— so why not make that part of your practice? We had Dave Roehr and Brad Bailor of Proceed Finance (http://www.proceedfinance.com) to discuss their company and how well payment plans work when it comes to attracting new patients with low financial risk to the doctors who consult with them. 
Proceed Finance offers affordable patient financing that helps providers expand their patient base and drive repeat business. We bridge the gap between the services providers offer their patients and the affordability of those services. The Proceed Finance model is simple – fully-funded, fast delivery financing for providers and easy to understand terms and the lowest rates for patients.

We wish you the best of luck, Brandon!  And we will stay in touch as you continue on your path through dental school (which you WILL be accepted in, by the way!) Cheers!

Strap yourselves in for one hell of an entertaining podcast as we have Dr. Lance Timmerman returning to the show.  He was last seen on Episode 26 way back in the day!  On this episode, Lance talks about how a company that provides SEO to small businesses screwed him over, holding his website content hostage.  Justin and Jeff then go straight to Google to judge Lance's website and SEO... and that is when we stumbled upon some of the hilariously awful patient reviews he has under his belt. Gabe is notably missing from this episode because he was too busy taking pictures of dick-shaped clouds in Nebraska. Check out Lance's website and be sure to read some of the hilarious reviews he has received (along with plenty of good ones!) by visiting https://www.drtimmerman.com/ PS. Originally, since Justin and Jeff forgot to ask Lance for a song to close his episode out with, we were going to end with "Oops I Did It Again" but Lance ended up requesting Tom Jones' "Mama Told Me Not to Come" — which we're OK with!
