Steve Anderson
Steve Anderson is the co-founder of the Crown Council (a group of dentists committed to excellence), as well as, the CEO of Total Patient Services (ToPS) which is a team of advisors to teach dentists how to treat clients, not just their mouth. Best of all, Steve is just like you and I in that he is a patient and not a dentist. Steve and I met through a dear mutual friend and I have attended his courses to see how he trains the dentists. Since that day, we have co-hosted events to help make the dental community a better one for the patients. You DO NOT want to miss this series, as he gives some perspective that we haven’t found elsewhere, and I know will bless your pursuit on this journey.

What Have You Learned From Dentistry
“Majority the vast number of dentists are very conservative in their approach, want to connect with the patient really earnestly, want to do what’s right and many times I don’t necessarily tell them everything that that is necessarily possible. That’s the piece of it where creating an environment where the dentist can speak openly and lay everything out on the table so the patient can make the right choices for themselves, that’s one of the keys.”
Dentistry Changed My Life
“I’m a patient first. Dentistry’s changed my life literally changed my life and so my passion to help practices and format them in a way that they can do that for more people, I’m all in on this. So I’ve had the personal experience. I know what it can do for people and helping practices structure themselves in such a way so they can do more of that for other people. That’s what I’m all about.” -Steve Anderson

Daily Coaching

Controlling Negative Self-Talk
“One of the things that I learned from riding a motorcycle is this key lesson for life the bike goes where your eyes go. So whatever you’re looking at, that’s where you’re going. Where you’re looking right and that’s a lesson for life which is you go. Where your eyes go, where you choose to focus is where you’re going to go so it goes back to that you can’t focus on the opposite of an idea.”

Ideal Patient Experience
There are lots to consider to have the ideal patient experience. Listen to Steve as he briefly breaks down some important points to consider.

Subjective Questions to Ask the Clinician
“Once i get face to face with the team and the dentist I’m going to ask subjective questions. I want somebody who’s plugged into the human side of what the work does for people, not just the work itself.” -Steve Anderson
