Optimizing Patient Flow for Dental Practice Growth
Thu Nov 06 2025
In this podcast episode, host Stan Kinder talks with guest Dr. John Meis. Meis, a fourth-generation dentist, has a rich background in improving dental practice performance. With over three decades of experience in the field, Meis believes that the performance of dental practices can be significantly enhanced through the guidance of external mentors, Dental
Support Organizations (DSOs), and key principles. His perspective is shaped by his own journey of turning around a failing practice and expanding it to 13 locations, and his role in a large DSO where he helped grow the company from 50 to 120 locations. He emphasizes the importance of dentists wearing multiple hats, including that of a business manager and investor, and the value of working with coaches, mentors, and consultants to elevate practice performance.

Here is what to expect on this week’s
