Dr. Chris Farrugia offers nationwide training for dentists who want to successfully access medical benefits for their service.
"Dentistry is a wonderful profession. Unfortunately, we dentists have developed a culture of being "doers". We tend to think that our compensation is based on only what we DO. We are then not properly compensated for what we KNOW. This problem is compounded by the fact that, as a profession, we give away more of our services than any other healthcare profession. This is particularly true about diagnostics. When a dentist considers how to increase practice fee revenue, we should first look to be better compensated for what we are already DOING and giving away. "
