Dr. Katie Lee did not build a dental practice. She built a health model. In this episode, Victoria Peterson talks with Dr. Katie Lee about biological dentistry, oral-systemic health, airway, early intervention, and what happens when a dentist refuses to let insurance, habit, or old clinical thinking define the future of care.  

Insurance should never decide the diagnosis. In part two of this conversation, Dr. Wade Kifer explains why comprehensive diagnosis, clinical conviction, and team alignment are essential when building a practice that is not restricted by insurance, confusion, or inconsistent communication.

A full schedule does not always mean a healthy business. In this episode, Victoria Peterson and Kari Miller break down why many successful dental practices hit a ceiling around the $2 million mark, and how comprehensive care, stronger systems, and better revenue mix can create more profit, more freedom, and more long-term enterprise value.

A strong practice does not start with better tactics. It starts with better thinking. In this episode, Victoria Peterson sits down with Dr. Kevin Kremer to unpack how mindset shapes leadership, growth, self-accountability, and the kind of practice a doctor ultimately builds.

Most dentists chase profit through production. This episode reveals the quieter lever that often determines whether growth holds or leaks away: the partnership between the doctor and the office manager.
