The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the inevitable for dentists. It is time to grow your Airway/TMJ practice by becoming an adjunct to medical practices.

In this DOCS Home Study lecture, Dr. Sitaram shares 5 specific cases that illustrate his treatment approach, practice growth strategy, and how you can deepen your relationships and referral partnerships with local medical practitioners.
