Most dentists think insurance companies are the reason they’re stuck. Dr. Farokh Jiveh believes the real problem is mindset, leadership, and the stories dentists tell themselves.

In this episode, Gary Bird sits down with Dr. Jiveh to discuss how he built a thriving fee-for-service practice after leaving insurance roughly 17 years ago. They cover self-worth, patient communication, leadership, personal growth, and the habits that separate thriving practice owners from stressed and overwhelmed dentists.

You’ll learn how to attract better patients, create a stronger team culture, improve case acceptance, and build a fee-for-service practice without living in fear of insurance companies.

If you’re serious about dental practice growth, leadership, fee-for-service dentistry, and building a practice that supports the life you actually want, this episode is for you.

Subscribe for more conversations on dental leadership, practice ownership, fee-for-service growth, and the strategies top dentists use to thrive.
