Dental Aggregate

When I received The Patterson eXperience magazine in our office mail for the very first time last week, my attention was immediately drawn to the feature article “Which Hats Do You Wear?” Even before opening to the page where the article began, I just knew it would discuss the many “hats” I wear as the Office Manager and Dental Assistant, and would be a very interesting read.

What I didn’t realize, at least not until after I had completed the entire interview with Certified Dental Practice Administrator Linda Zdanowicz, was that I would immediately have profound respect and admiration towards Linda, and become an instant fan and subscriber to her blog, as well as a new subscriber to The Patterson eXperience.

I searched online to try and find a website for The Patterson eXperience, but couldn’t find one. I was hoping to find an easy and effective way of ensuring I subscribed right away in order to make sure I didn’t miss any in coming months. I was not aware of the existence of any dental magazines for office managers, and am thrilled to have received this one. I will also be sure to check on the availability of previous editions, as I’m sure I would enjoy reading those as well.

I have already devoured read the entire magazine from cover to cover, and am now reading it again for the second time. The article “Crack the Dental Dress Code” is one I am especially interested in reading again. The statement “appearances matter”, in relation to the importance of presenting patients with a well-groomed dental staff, cannot be overemphasized. I will be discussing the topic of dental office dress codes in upcoming posts, so please stay tuned.

In the meantime, ask yourself if the dress code exhibited in your office displays the highest standard of professionalism possible, or is there still room for improvement?
