Next up, The Red Sea Workshop in Washington and Union, MO, Nov 6 and 7 helping doctors deliver higher levels of care and doing so in any environment. This is a full upgrade of the new patient experience and the consultative process, pioneered by Dr. Michael Edwards and introduced in his book Through The Red Sea.

One of my favorite workshops! Based on my first book, Through The Red Sea, which detailed my own journey to private care and out of the in-network insurance model, this workshop is a deep dive into the creative process — how to build co-creative relationships with patients instead of relying on selling and scare tactics.

You don't have to manipulate people into wanting comprehensive care. When you tap into their purpose and motivations, and openly discuss their obstacles to care, you activate the seeds of creation instead of just solving problems.

This workshop has helped many doctors transition out of insurance networks into the freedom of private practice — finding their passion again, reorienting their practice around their training, and putting every skill they've collected to work for their patients.

Wishing you all the best on the path you choose.

The first school for dentists teaching proven principles for practice profitability and humanistic care.

📖 Big update on CFPD.com!
Dental Diagnosing in the 21st Century's Diagnostic Tracker has just been refreshed — head over and check it out!

This book grew out of a simple, hard truth: when diagnosis isn't prioritized from day one, even the most skilled clinicians can be haunted by it later. The Heart of the Matter is about building a culture of health and establishing a true diagnosis before treatment ever begins — the foundation of relationship-based, modern, personalized dentistry.
