I am so impressed with this book. I was a oral surgeon assistant and I wished I had this book to read ! The contents in this book is so informative for anyone that is an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Resident, Dentist or any medical practice or business. It has been written from the perspective of a patient and an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgical Assistant and someone helping set up offices.There is so much information in this book that once you start reading you won't want to put the book down.I encourage everyone to read this book and you will want to be a better Leader or Team Member.

This is a great book and must read for the budding medical or dental professional who is thinking of opening up his or her own practice. It is also a great book for the existing practitioner who wants to evaluate his or her practice's strengths and weaknesses, what needs to be improved, or what needs to be tweaked to get to your practice where you want it to be!Most books on this topic are written by business consultants, office managers, or corporate execs but not this book! Not only was it written by a highly respected Maxillofacial Surgical Assistant who knows what it is like to be in the trenches along side the surgeons --but the author also has a personal experience to tell from her own battle with TMJ --and how it has affected her both personally and professionally throughout her career!

This book is absolutely wonderful. As an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon I really appreciate the time Martha the author spent on writing this book for us all to share. I have worked with her personally and she is a great person, amazing assistant and now a book author!!! She has a true passion for the field of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and continues to help grow and support our amazing specialty in so many ways. This is a MUST READ!!Brian Hollabaugh, MD, DDS
