112: Calming the Phobic Patient with Dr. Casey Culberson

On this episode of The Business of Dentistry, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Casey Culberson. He likes to “work hard but play hard, too!” This is a great way to live, as we all need to have favorite pastimes to reduce the stress in our lives. Speaking of reducing stress, Dr. Culberson has created a way for phobic patients to take their mind off of dental procedures while at the office, which we discuss in today’s episode.  Dr. Culberson recognized a need for entertaining for his patients while they received treatment, and now with his new invention, he is helping to calm phobic patients in many dental offices too. In this episode, you will hear about his Molar Media Mount, what it is, how he invented it, and how he is using it in his practice today.  You’ll also hear about the benefits of shared office space and how a change in perspective helped him manage his practice in a new way.   In this episode, you’ll hear: The benefits of a shared office space, plus some ways to use your time most efficiently The benefits of participating in a mission trip and how it can change your perspective on how you manage your office The process and steps of inventing an item for dental office use About his Molar Media Mount, its benefits and how it helps to calm and entertain phobic patients   Resources from this episode: The Molar Media Mount: https://www.molarmediamount.com/ Dr. Casey Culberson: http://www.caseyculbersondds.com/
