Drawing from 40-plus years of clinical experience practicing in a small, suburban blue-collar town, as well as Pankey-Dawson clinical training, Dr. David Black helps dentists and their teams increase profitability, patient standard of care and peace of mind through attention to key systems. A dental leader in local societies and projects, and state dental board of directors, committees and task forces, Dr. Black's proven leadership and administrative skill were fundamental in developing a successful restorative and cosmetic practice. Over the years Dr. Black has hired and mentored dozens of dentists, proven his systems for creating a highly-profitable, low-overhead business model, and provided outstanding patient care.

The reason for this emphasis is that the doctor is the primary producer in the office and often does not have time during the day to manage the team.
