What makes Master Class great is that it provides alternative and detailed ways to present treatment in a way that creates complete understanding and prioritizes patients’ needs. It has also given me a step-by-step blueprint for building relationships and communicating clearly.

I consider myself to be personable and friendly, but when I opened my new office, I realized that to build my practice, I had to further improve my relationships with patients.  I struggled with using words in a way that eliminated confusion and eased anxiety. I didn't know why patients who liked me didn't automatically write reviews.

Dr. Slesnick does an amazing job summarizing lessons and gives plenty of examples. With very clearly demonstrated scenarios and videos, you can see areas where you can improve.  Master Class provided me with the confidence I needed to make each interaction impactful and meaningful. Since taking the course, my Google reviews, treatment plan acceptance, and relationships with patients have all improved. I feel empowered.

The Master Class training helped me realize that I'd been more focused on treating teeth than I was on seeing patients as people just like me. As a result, I wasn't building trust, and this was damaging my case acceptance. Master Class also helped me present treatment plans so clearly that patients understood the big picture and didn't get lost in the details.

I've been a practicing dentist for seven years and two years ago was asked to start a new office. Before I started Dr. Slesnick's training, I had a good flow of new patients but wasn't able to keep my schedule busy because patients weren't accepting my treatment plans. I was frustrated with this and didn't know what to do about it.

After a year of applying what I learned from Dr. Slesnick, my production has been significantly better, I'm getting more referrals from patients, and most importantly, I'm much more confident and happy in my work. I strongly recommend Master Class to my colleague. It's made a very big difference for me.

Master Class helped me to understand what patients are thinking and what they really want. Precision communication is an art and science and Mike Slesnick explains it so clearly that patient interactions become effective and enjoyable.

Before taking Master Class, I struggled to motivate patients to take care of their dental problems. The most frustrating part was that the problems were there, but patients wouldn't schedule treatment. This happened over and over, and I had no idea what to do about it.

Master Class was worth its weight in gold. I stronger suggest that you learn the pearls that Mike has to offer. 100% worth every minute.
