To say that James Madison was years in the making would be true if you count all the years of his life because he never stopped learning.  In fact, it is generally agreed as of the current year, that he was by far the best educated President the United States has ever had.

He was born during the time of the original organization of the American colonies.  At…

Dear Crowns, Would like your thoughts on this one.

Twenty one years ago I purchased a practice and decided up front that I would not participate in any plans. One year later I took on a partner who decided to participate to "build up" his patient population. We function as two pseudo practices within a corporation.

I have posted pictures of the latest incentives that I have delivered to our top referring offices.  Anyone have great ideas for Christmas/Holiday incentives?  I was hoping to get away from the typical "gift basket" that I planned to do this year.   

Last year I took 3- 4 foot potted Christmas Trees to our referring…

 If there was a list of those who were years in the making Thomas Jefferson would be near the top. He certainly prepared himself well and rather continuously for the many significant things he accomplished in his life.

He was born into one of the early…

CROWN COUNCIL MEMBER PRACTICES have always been leading edge. It’s part of our culture, right? This week we’ve teamed up with one of our Qualified Resource Partners, My Social Practice, to bring you some great information about how dental practices (including many of our own Crown Council members) are proactively embracing social media marketing strategies in…

Who is everyone using for their appointment confirmation systems? Any recommendations of ones to avoid or go for?

Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know where we can get some patient friendly information on Tek Scan??  We have been to their website, but it is just technical information.

We could write something up ourselves, but we were hoping to find a brochure or something like what the ADA puts out about other general dentistry services.

Thanks!
