Here are some highlights from the show:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialty service integration <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Seif discusses how CaliDental expanded its specialty services, including oral surgery, implants, and pediatrics, detailing their approach to both internal training and external <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetdds.com\/resources\/craig-abramowitz-on-building-lasting-dental-partnerships\/\" data-type=\"resources\" data-id=\"13892\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">partnerships<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;There is one specialty we don&#8217;t even make money out of it and it&#8217;s general anesthesia . . . We just went into it knowing that we don&#8217;t want to make money . . . We always care about providing them the same work under the same roof . . . I&#8217;m fine. I don&#8217;t want it as long as my patients are happy, and they&#8217;re well taken care of.&#8221;<\/em> \u2014Randa Seif<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technology and automation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Seif talks about how automation and technology implementation can improve operational efficiency and staff satisfaction while enhancing patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Employee retention and culture<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Seif shares insights on building a positive work culture, fair compensation, and creating an environment where employees can thrive long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;The other thing we look at, where can we get talents faster? Because, yes, you can open a location where you actually have a lot of patients waiting, if I don&#8217;t have providers, if I don&#8217;t have dental assistant, if I don&#8217;t have hygienist expanding functions, I can&#8217;t operate efficiently to even see these patients. Our biggest burden in the company is finding talents to basically just fulfill the needs of the community.&#8221;<\/em>  \u2014Randa Seif<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About The Dental Economist Show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t miss insightful conversations on the latest trends and strategies in dental practice management.
