Sometimes, all that’s in the way of doubling your practice’s growth is not having an office manager. In this episode, I sit down with Zachary Shelley, a leading dental office manager who’s achieved incredible growth in just 4 years at Satellite Family Dentistry.  Zachary’s journey to dental office management is unconventional — he went from professional skateboarder to dental lab manager, eventually landing the role at Satellite as its very first office manager.  And how is that going? Well, in this episode Zachary shares not only the changes he made as office manager but also how he’s helped the practice retain over 88% of new patients, simply by focusing on elevating patient experience and team communication. Additionally, we talk about team culture and the power of creating a structured, supportive environment where the staff feels valued. Other themes include: Zachary’s evolution in dentistry The value of ongoing education And tips for empowering staff.
