Have you ever considered how much impact a single word can have on patient care? Join us for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Michael Sonick, an internationally acclaimed periodontist and educator, as he uncovers the profound difference between treating patients "for" their ailments versus "to" their needs. Dr. Sonick, known for his holistic approach to dental care, takes us through the epidemic of periodontal disease and the paramount importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment. With a career bridging both clinical practice and academia, he emphasizes the power of mentorship and compassionate education in transforming healthcare.

In this episode, we highlight why humanistic values are just as crucial as procedural skills in dental education. Dr. Sonic shares insights from his book "Treating People, not Patients," revealing how hospitality industry principles have reshaped his approach to patient care. Inspired by leaders like Will Gadara and Danny Meyer, Dr. Sonic discusses the essential elements of kindness and emotional understanding in enhancing patient experiences. If you're passionate about evolving healthcare into a more compassionate, patient-centered field, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom and actionable insights.
