A year ago, I was so burned out on my job I actually considered getting out of it, selling my dental practice and doing something different. It was not the dentistry I hated, but the management. I decided to move toward a transition with a young partner but decided that before I did so I should get my " house in order" with new management skills and in order to attract the quality young partner, I needed to add technology to my practice. Now a year later, I still haven't managed to look for a partner, I am having so darn much fun with my practice. I have the best staff in the world, I try to enjoy each and every patient, each and every experience. and the odd pain-in-the-ass person that I can't manage to deal with I just move them on to somewhere they can take their negativity. I love all the new bells and whistles, digital Xrays, patient education computers in every room, intraoral cameras in every room, I am absolutely enjoying life. But, it took a conscious decision to get off my butt, quit whining and make things happen. I am a very blessed person. I still get all the music and theater fixes I need also!
