5-Step Dental Referral Program

Posted by Shawn Russell on Mar 31, 2014 11:59:00 AM

I visit a lot of dental offices and I am surprised by how many offices don’t have a formal dental referral program.

Often times we scratch out some goals and objective we would like to accomplish, but that’s where it stops.
