038 All the traps to avoid when leasing space for an office with Justin Ditkofsky 

 We feature the blood boiling second half of our interview with Justin Ditkofsky of Cirrus Consulting Group. Did you know that some leases allow the landlord to hold up the sale of a dental practice? And how about having no lease and just going month to month? This is really valuable information from a really great source! You can reach Justin on his direct, toll free number at: (866) 739-9075, ext. 3236  Our Brain Trust segment features an all star line up of panelists: Dr. Tammy Bailey, Dr. Frank Clayton, Dr. Melissa Zettler and Dr. Matthew Standridge. We discuss the topic of general dentists doing "specialty" procedures. Every few months there always seems to be an expose that features some dental specialist warning the public about undertrained dentists doing procedures that they aren't qualified to do. Is this a real problem? Is this just turf protection? Listen to the interesting and hilarious take of our always entertaining Brain Trust!  If you have any questions or comments for us please drop us an email at info@dentalhacks.com or find us (and like us!) at www.facebook.com/dentalhacks. Or, if you prefer...give us a call at (866) 223-5257 and leave us a message. You might be played in the show! If you like us, why not leave us a review on iTunes? It helps us get found by like minded people and might even help us get into "What's Hot" in the iTunes store! Go to this link and let the world know about the DentalHacks! Finally, if you aren't an Apple person, consider reviewing us on Stitcher at: stitcher.com/podcast/the-dentalhacks-podcast!  Links mentioned in today's show:  Story from Arizona on general dentists doing implants   PR piece about Ben Burris and inexpensive prophys for poor people

Landlords, leases and dirty tricks with Justin Ditkofsky (DHP46)

 Episode 45 of the DentalHacks podcast features Justin Ditkofsky of Cirrus Consulting Group talking about dental office leasing. If you only listen to one podcast this year...it should be this one! Dentists can get in a lot of trouble with commercial leases and most of the time we don't even know it's happening! Before you sign a lease or renegotiate a current lease, take a listen to Justin and make sure you have all the information you need to avoid making a costly mistake!  In the second half of the Brain Trust's discussion of posterior composites we focus on heated composites, composite placement instruments and composite matrix systems. You'll hear about some new matrix rings created to work in all the toughest situations (can you say "nubbin?") Best of all, you'll hear Dr. Rich Rosenblatt get all wound up discussing repairing light composite contacts. Don't miss this Brain Trust!
