Ep 50: Hiring for Personality: Building a Positive Dental Work Culture

  • Summary

  • Michael Koumaras is a dedicated pediatric dentist practicing in Philadelphia, proudly continuing a family tradition as a third-generation dental professional. Inspired by his grandfather's work ethic and commitment to education, Michael emphasizes the importance of building relationships with both patients and their parents to create a positive experience in pediatric dentistry. He has successfully expanded his practice by opening multiple modernized offices, prioritizing patient care and creating a supportive, community-focused environment. Valuing a strong, supportive team over mere experience, Michael ensures his practice thrives through excellent management, community involvement, and personal attention to his young patients. Here’s what to expect this episode: Family heritage and mentorship play a significant role in shaping professional paths in dentistry. Viewing dentistry as a business is essential for long-term success, requiring a progressive mindset and continuous improvements. Building relationships with patients and parents based on trust is crucial for a successful dental practice. Pediatric dentistry faces higher burnout rates due to demanding schedules and unique stressors. General dentists are expanding services to include specialties, impacting traditional specialist practices. Hiring for ability and personality over experience is important in managing multiple offices in a dental practice. Engaging in charitable work in dentistry involves mentoring young dentists to enhance their skills and confidence.
