It was an honor to attend Dr. Bob Pick's Chicago MidWinter 2017 lecture on The Powerful Business Secrets of Dental Practice. The attendees were truly fortunate to be educated in the same true style that ‘Coach Vince Lombardi’ used to develop his Green Bay championship teams. His basic formula for success for his team was to ‘Master the Fundamentals.’ Dr. Pick is truly one dedicated to helping doctors and their teams create custom systems and marketing plans that enable them to have a practice that is not only highly productive and fun, but one that allows them to consistently exceed patient expectations. His presentation is the most dynamic I have ever seen!
