title: Feel like giving up and getting out... from beneath the mid-career squeeze?
abstract: Mid-career provides different opportunities and challenges for different dentists. Some are hitting their stride and enjoying success. Others are facing financial worries and multiple concerns. While many of the issues that mid-career practices experience can be addressed effectively, doing so requires looking closely at those areas that tend to be the most troublesome, including patient retention, staff hiring and training, and patient satisfaction. If practices take measurable steps to address those areas, they make great strides in overcoming the mid-career slump.
