“Michael Sonick’s business is to use his medical expertise to keep dental patients healthy. But he’s acutely aware that his deeper calling is to use his hospitality gifts to make people feel better. That insight no doubt separates his practice from the pack, and his lessons are applicable to any customer-facing business. ”

What if every health care practice was based on honesty, integrity and compassion?
- Have you ever felt the pressure to "sell" rather than educate?
- Are you naturally more comfortable with facts and information than relating with others?
- Do you find it difficult to establish trust with your patients? Do they believe that their care and well-being are your top priority?
- The truth is people, desire to be cared for by their physicians. The current system treats people like numbers. It is your job as the physician to break free from the current system and its culture and break down the barriers with your patients.
