Greetings to all. I thought the meeting was great. The CRP relationship to flossing is not new, however, it provided strong third party verification to my hygienists who are very interested now. We've had several patients who know alot about Roizen's work. I thought all presentations were good, but Roizen's and the EI lecture were most usable.

I would love to have everything scheduled at the chair. It certainly takes some super coordination and discipline. It takes a different level chairside assistant also.

The problem with the meeting was that I didn't get to see the beautiful Ivy Mansky.

One other thought I forgot to mention on digital xrays. Everyone has their preferences, but we have so pleased with Dexis. I have compared it to my building partner's Schick and I see many differences.

I just sent an e-mail to my chairsides and schedule manager outlining the deficiencies I see in the next 2 weeks on the schedule. They are all 3 scheduling now, with more and more happening from the chair, but it became necessary to nip a few things in the Sipko quickly before they became commonplace.

This really looks like a winning formula once we get all the kinks worked out. Each assistant knows the clinical condition and operating predisposition of each patient to a greater degree than does the front desk, and they can streamline their operatory to a finer degree.

Of course, they may all 3 shoot me in the morning after they read my e-mail, but then my worries will be over anyway.
