Has Your Office Been Hijacked?

BY JIM SCHROEDER DDS, MS, FACD
Why would I title an article about your office being hijacked?  My definition of hijacked is losing control of your intended direction due to a takeover by an internal or external party - often leaving you with a helpless feeling.   Read more

Fingerprint of Change

BY JIM SCHROEDER DDS, MS, FACD
As I travel throughout the state I experience a wide range of dentists and practice models that vary in size, scope, age and experience.  Our profession is morphing right before our very eyes. If you haven’t taken the time to look outside your window, the landscape is changing quite rapidly. Read more
