👉 Free training for dentists who want a "true sub-12% body fat abs", despite the stress and lack of time: https://youtu.be/cYhvSAeAbJsLimited Spots - 6 per monthDM me RIP6 on IG - instagram.com/dr.richard.low/ORtext (219) 245-7050 for availabilityMost dentists secretly want what Dr. Shane has built:Bought a 7‑op practice + building in a small townGrew from $1.2M to $3.7M in 4 yearsExpanded to 3 doctors & ~18 team membersTripled new patients (25–30 → ~90/month)And at the same time… fixed his body, stress, and leadership.In this joint episode of Next Level Dentist, I sit down with Dr. Shane Wingler and Gary Bird to unpack both sides of that growth:The practice systems, hiring, marketing, and AI that drove collectionsThe personal transformation that kept Shane from burning out or blowing up his team and family.I’m Dr. Richard Low:- Dentist & former CEO of 35 dental practices- Founder of the #1 rated practice‑ownership podcast in dentistry- Burned out, rebuilt my life around faith, family, and fitness- Now coaching 50+ male practice‑owner dentists inside Next Level Fathers to lose weight, reconnect with God, and lead better at homeWe cover:1. The acquisition & growth path- Buying a long‑standing 7‑op practice + real estate (all‑in around $2M).- Why buying the whole building (and upstairs) created future growth instead of a trap.- Going from 7 ops partially used → fully optimized ops & added doctor days.2. Culture, turnover, and building a real team- Going from 7 to ~18 team members (with 0 OGs left).- Changing a “coast & complacent” culture into a growth‑minded, drama‑free one.- Why Shane now protects culture at all costs and has the team, not him, judge new hires.3. Masterminds, books, and learning leadership- How 3D Dentists (Tarun & Sully) helped him realize he was a bad leader and fix it.- Book stack that actually changed his ops:Extreme OwnershipThe Coaching HabitTraction (EOS)- Running a book club with other dentists and implementing the ideas (not just reading them).4. Capacity → demand → capacity again- The reality: most practices are supply constrained, not demand constrained.- Hiring a second associate early, then a third, and using hygiene capacity as the real limiter.- Tweaking hygiene scheduling, slowing down for better exams, and immediately seeing growth before paid marketing.5. Marketing with Gary: from 25–30 to ~90 new patients/month- Why Shane finally decided to spend real money on marketing.- Using percentage of collections (not raw dollars) to make marketing math sane.- Working with Gary’s team to:Fix call answer and conversionShorten time‑to‑appointmentShift focus based on constraints (hygiene full → pivot towards implants/emergencies).6. AI & patient financing in the real world- Hiring “Allie” – an AI phone agent to catch missed calls and book new patients (often after hours).- How patients and team have actually reacted (not theory).- Presenting patient financing to every patient, not just as a last‑ditch “save,” and seeing a 30%+ bump in collections.7. Shane’s personal transformation: from sharp, stressed owner to 3:50 AM beast- Carrying all the emotional weight of growth home and getting sharp with his team.- His associate calling him out: “If you talked to me like that…”- Joining Next Level Fathers not just for a six‑pack, but for:Spiritual realignmentJournaling & reflectionBeing present at homeGetting out of the numb‑out cycle- Waking up at 3:50 AM daily, winning the morning with:WorkoutNutrition planningSpiritual workJournaling- How that became his identity and the foundation for everything else.If you’re a successful, stressed or burned-out dentist,🚀 Watch the full Next Level Fathers Framework:https://youtu.be/cYhvSAeAbJsConnect with me📸 Instagram (daily content & behind the scenes): instagram.com/dr.richard.low/
