Small Boutique FFS Practice




Dr. Josh Bernstein and his lovely wife Allison have built a thriving, self described "small boutique" FFS practice in the Oakland, California area.

Communication as the best tool moving forward!

The 4 key steps to their thriving practice:

1- Good continuing education.

2- Outstanding customer service and a beautiful office.

3- Marketing your practice.

4- Fixing your own teeth!

The patient interview done first and foremost on the telephone with the language that you speak must be consistent and paint a picture, setting the expectations prior to walking through the door, which will be the subsequent new patient appointment.
