In a dental practice, it's crucial to address conflicts promptly. I would first listen to both sides to understand the issue, then facilitate a discussion to encourage collaboration and resolution. It's important to maintain a positive team environment, and I believe constructive feedback can turn conflicts into opportunities for growth.

To ensure a smooth patient experience, I focus on communication and organization. I implement efficient scheduling processes, ensure team members are trained for patient interactions, and regularly gather feedback to identify areas for improvement. My goal is always to create a welcoming atmosphere that prioritizes patient comfort.

I have worked with various dental practice management software, including Denticon, although I’m adaptable and quick to learn new systems.

Ensuring compliance involves staying informed about industry regulations and training the team accordingly. I implement best practices, conduct regular audits, and actively engage with training programs to ensure all staff members understand their responsibilities regarding compliance and patient safety.
