The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan Laskin

• Two Ways to Help More Patients Say "YES" to Treatment (Without Feeling Like You're Selling)

  Co-CEO of Finance Rx® Nancy Kay Coy and I are both enthusiastic entrepreneurs addressing similar problems in the dental industry, but from different angles. I had such a great time interviewing Nancy in this episode of The Patient First Podcast on how her team is helping to bridge gaps between lenders and practices and between providers and patients. As you'll see in this interview, Nancy and I agree on something huge: empowered teams lead to empowered patients, which lead to empowered practices. The end goal of our respective endeavors? Helping practices thrive and profit by leveraging the patient experience. I'm Dr. Bryan Laskin—dentist, author, advocate of patient empowerment through data accessibility, and engineer of solutions that help providers unlock profitability through patient empowerment.
