๐What Do Periodontist Physicians Love About Their Job?
"I am presently evolving in my role as a practice owner as I am moving to more of a management, administrative, and leadership role while still maintaining my identity as a high producer in my practice. The biggest challenge we have is a shortage of skilled labor on the clinical and business teams. Well, on the other hand, we have more than enough providers available in terms of periodontists that want to work in our practice."โ Periodontist Physician
โ๏ธIs Periodontist a Good Work-Life Balance Specialty?
"I see patients clinically Tuesday through Thursday in our practice, typically starting at 7:30 a.m. and finishing my last patient by approximately 3:30. I dedicate an hour or two prior to the clinic day as well as 45 minutes to an hour after the clinic day in terms of preparation for that day's patients. A leadership message that I want to share with the team, as well as conducting my follow-up calls from patient care on my clinic days. Mondays are set aside for leadership, strategic planning, and working on initiatives for the upcoming quarter. Fridays, I typically spend taking meetings, meeting one-on-one with our doctors and team members. To help them get a better sense of how they're performing. Outside of those times, I'm able to make sure I attend all my kids' sporting events, carve out time for my wife and I to stay connected, and with our time out of the office, we enjoy traveling and staying at our home in Honolulu, which we increasingly spend more time at, especially during the winters we want to get away from Seattle.
