Why Dental Groups Fail: Lessons From Coaching Over 200 Associate Dentists with Dr. Eric Roman on Humpday Happy Hour™
Send us Fan Mail Dr. Eric Roman is the founder of Dental Associate Growth and the joyFULL Growth platform, a dental coaching and systems company purpose-built for dental groups and DSOs. Over a 15-year career, Dr. Roman has built and exited two dental groups, hired and developed hundreds of associate dentists, and coached more than $1 billion in annual dental revenue. In the last 18 months of intensive associate coaching, his team analyzed more than 10,000 real dentist-patient interactions using AI measurement tools and worked directly with more than 200 providers across the country. His research consistently reveals the same counterintuitive finding: Associate performance problems are not clinical. They are behavioral, systemic, and entirely solvable. He speaks and consults nationally in the group dentistry and DSO space with a reputation for naming clearly what most people in the industry are only thinking privately. ✨Connect with Dr. Roman: Website: https://drericjroman.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drericjroman/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drericjroman/ 📺Make sure you subscribe to catch Chicago Midwinter Meeting discussions on our channel every Monday! 🌟Follow the DINKs to stay up to date on all the latest dental trends: https://linktr.ee/dentistsintheknow
