Reviews: "Paul's book has all the elements necessary to assess your practice as well as your life and make it exceptional. Most books written for dentists, are designed to provide some cheerleading, give you a few helpful nuggets to improve you practice, and then motivate you to sign up with their consulting services. This book, however, breaks down piece-by-piece every component of a highly functioning practice and provides the tools and insight to take your practice the highest level possible. You get ALL the nuggets needed to redesign your practice and in-effect create the life you desire. Thank you Paul for providing this book at a critical time when many dentists are scrambling to find the answers to an ever-changing field." - Dr. Lance Pietropola "Dr. Paul's Book "Dental Practice Hero" is an easy to digest, real world entertaining look at the way all of us private practitioners should be practicing. He provides humor insight and a lot of great and easy to understand examples of what he is trying to get across to the reader. He organizes the book into subcategories that make it simple to tackle the issues we face in our dental offices one problem at a time. What I really enjoyed was how he uses a different perspective on how to view things we see as road blocks and turns them into manageable "bumps in the road." A great read. Definitely recommend. Picked up a lot of great information that I should have implemented when I started working in private practice years ago." - Dr. David Sanders "Dental Hero, is a must read for any entrepreneur. A truly inspiring and enjoyable piece of literature. Dr Etchison's philosophies are now at the core of how we practice/manage our business." - Dr. Sunil Kurup "Great Guide for modern methods combined with compassionate dentistry. Comprehensive methods to differentiate your dental practice and increase you income! I have implemented the methods in the book and it has helped my office grow past 1.5M in a 1 doc practice with room to grow." - Dr. Joe Lee
