"Very very helpful. I'm in a
DMD/MBA dual degree and you covered the highlights &
relevant info regarding business management extremely
well. You summarized in 2 hrs what I've learned in 2 yrs
of business classes (ie, the dental application)." A Liu,
Temple, Class of 2002"As a
student with a business background, I found the
presentation to be informative and edifying. It reminded
me why I went into dentistry in the first place- to keep
people healthy and to run my own successful
business." "If every dentist heard these
motivational/advising teachings, dentistry would have a
brighter outlook. This is what dentistry is all about.
This lecture should be mandatory in all curriculums" "I was self employed for 8 yrs
(with employees). You mentioned so many helpful things
that I learned the hard way. Practical knowledge like
this would be so refreshing at this school." "The most informative lecture on
financing that I have seen in 10 years!" "I need a lot more information
like this. This is valuable and as relevant as anything I
have learned." "We have taken a 4 semester
Practice Management Course...you have given us more
relevant information in just 2 hours than I've received
in the entire course!" "Definitely something that
students need to hear. Even if they choose not to go with
anything from the company, it will still create critical
& important thinking by the student for their
careers." "The lecture was very informative
& concise on the process of dental management. The
details of info are very helpful & give me a better
understanding on the legal aspects of financial issues
and dentistry. This seminar is a must for everyone to
better understand the reality & catches of the
profession." "It seems like you've thought of
everything. [comment refers to comprehensive nature of
the software]" "What an enlightening experience!
I've found myself sleeping through lectures in school,
but I was so captivated by the information Mr Smolinski
presented that I lost track of time." "This lecture made me more excited
about starting a practice. Please keep in touch! This is
something I want to look more into." "The info presented was important
for me because I was wavering between buying a practice
and starting my own. Thank you. I feel much more
empowered as a result of listening to you." "This lecture provides dental
students with a foundation of thought that emphasizes
success through quality management. Thanks for the
advice." "Mark Smolinski really opened my
eyes & helped me see what I really wanted out of
dentistry. Thank you for your presentation. So far I have
never had access to this sort of information." "Mark's lecture was an awakening
experience after years of being in such a structured
environment that dental school provides." "The info here is exactly what we
need in our normal curriculum. Thanks for giving this
presentation." "Very informative & useful.
Ideas that are not presented- ever. Nice to know we have
this option" "So much good info, my head was
spinning. You need to write a textbook." "Thanks for a very interesting
seminar. You shared some great info." "Very informative. This guy should
teach a class in our core curriculum!" "I felt very motivated & more
confident to go out and open a solo practice after
hearing this presentation. It was well organized and well
presented." "I am super motivated and excited
to create my own practice! I will recommend your seminar
to our curriculum committee." "The amount of Practice Management
offered in school is dismal- real world experience is
great. We graduate knowing nothing about practice
management & office work." "Nobody even touches on this
stuff." [in response to question "did you learn
important professional information not covered in school
curriculum?"] "Very informative. I wish dental
schools would show us more pertinent information about
running a practice rather than working in one." "Best speaker we have had
concerning practice management at school." "Well spoken. Good presentation.
Used relevant personal experiences to punctuate points.
Motivated and appeared honest" "Very passionate &
motivational. Gave many aspects that I have not heard.
Didn't overpush the product. Didn't even tell us the
price until asked." "This seminar is one of the most
informational seminars that I have attended. Marquette
has taught me to be an excellent and successful
practitioner, but that will not help me if I do not know
how to run my business. I know we need more of
this." "I was impressed by your
enthusiasm and quality of information. The lecture was
well organized and run efficiently. I am seriously
thinking now about starting my own practice. I never
really considered doing so before. Thanks. PS I hope you
can get some of this info into school curriculums." "Great presentation for motivated
students." "Good presentation- very helpful.
It gave me a lot to think about and showed me how much I
have to learn!" "You have given me hope- I now
look forward to opening my own practice (and actually
MAKING money by doing so!)" "This lecture is what I have been
waiting for, for the past 3 years. This is the info we
need to know." "I was a finance major in
undergrad & this served as a great review of the
important issues. It also brought to my attention the
issues that I will need to know to run my practice." "Enjoyed the presentation. It's
great to hear what you have done! By the way, I am
specializing and planning on making a fortune." "Very, very important topic
material. I enjoyed your inspiration and energy in your
lecture and your outlook on business. Thank you." "Thank you. I can't wait to open
my practice, and buy your software. It's hard to believe
you sell a product, it seems you're selling us to
ourselves. Thanks again." "Dental school education
curriculum: 99.5% Dentistry, .5% Practice Management
(none of which is small business management). Great job,
Great Message, Great Software" "Great lecture- I was always in
favor of private practice and starting my own after
graduation. Now, I am even more confident. Thank
you" "You were very informative &
told me what I have desperately wanted to hear. Thank you
for sharing and inspiring!" "An excellent lecture providing a
new and informative perspective on the future of my
career." "Actually the lecture was a harsh
reality. I hope to open my own practice after dental
school, and I have a 'dental student fantasy' of 6 figure
income. The lecture prompted me to begin my
investigations. Thank you!" "I am planning to start from
scratch and have been for a time. I will most likely be
in touch. Very motivational presentation. Thank
you." "Very informative and helpful.
Thank you!" "Thanks for a chance to evaluate
other alternatives to the stale status quo… leave,
associate…" "I hope more and more students can
benefit from this seminar" "Thank you so much for the
valuable information. Dental students are not taught
about the business aspect of dentistry; this program gave
me a leg up on others." "I was a practice manager before I
came to dental school and your software has addressed
many problems I faced at work. I will buy your program
when I graduate!" "Great Lecture! It's amazing all
of the info that they are afraid to teach us at Dental
School." "You really opened my eyes, that I
better start thinking about how I will run my business or
I will be losing profits while I am trying to figure out
all the business stuff the first 5 years out." "This is definitely a point of
view we need to hear. Throughout school, we constantly
hear how starting from scratch is not a viable option no
matter what we desire." "An inspiration to the aspiring
dentist! Looks like computerization that will work-
everything has been thought of and put to the test by
someone with a caring and vested interest." "I appreciate your ideas, opinions
and motivation, but also the fact you were not just here
to sell a product." "Great independent thinker.
Informative and practical." "I appreciated the very well
organized information and the 'straight-talk'. The
information is very pertinent & helpful." "I like what he has to say. I was
convinced that I can start my own practice. Great
Job." "Very important info provided to
me. The lecture made me feel like I could succeed at
starting my own practice. Thank you" "Thank you for challenging us to
think like the rest of the world- business dictates most
markets including health care, despite what we think
while in school." "Great lecture. Great fun
too." |
