Today on the Double Your Production Podcast, Dr. John Meis and Wendy Briggs are sitting down with Angie Bachman of Design Ergonomics to about how she helps practices become some of the top-producing offices in the nation.

Design Ergonomics has revolutionized dentistry by applying lean manufacturing principles of the famed Toyota production process to optimize offices. They improve everything from patient flow to team flow, allowing the overall environment of the office to improve. Their methods reduce wasted time, energy, and materials so practices can be extremely efficient and productive while providing a better patient experience.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why simply moving faster doesn’t improve efficiency in a dental office
• How to identify wasted time or energy in a practice’s operations
• How to create a centralized, low-cost inventory system
• The best place to start when optimizing your office and simple things you can do to improve your efficiency
• Why there’s a tendency to overcomplicate an operatory and how to encourage the team to maintain simplicity
• How to create a universal, agreed-upon setup and processes that are the same in each room

We hope you enjoy today’s episode! If you’d like to get in touch with Angie Bachman, you can reach her atabachman@desergo.com or www.desergo.com 

In this episode of the Double Your Production podcast, Dr. John Meis and Wendy Briggs are diving into Adam Grant’s new book, Think Again. They are unpacking some of the key insights from the book and talking through how these ideas apply to dental practice owners and teams.

The business environment is always changing, so every practice owner needs to have a certain level of flexibility in their thinking and a willingness to pivot. This adaptability can impact team management, patient communication, and overall practice success.

This episode kicks off a new series within the podcast. Each quarter, we choose a book that can create meaningful change in your dental practice and talk through some of the key ideas and learnings. We do this with our highest-level clients and we want to bring a bit of that book club to our broader dental community. We hope you read along with us each quarter and join us in continuing to grow personally and professionally.
