PDA History
Productive Dentist Academy was founded in 2004 with the belief that dentists and dental teams deserve more profit with less stress. As dental practice owners and entrepreneurs, co-founders Dr. Bruce B. Baird and Dr. Victoria Peterson seized the opportunity to innovate the business of dentistry by providing an easier way to generate productive outcomes. Strategic business planning, communication, marketing, training, and systems work together to elevate the patient experience and improve results.
The PDA Way™ methodology can be applied to a wide variety of dental business models from high-end aesthetic practices, to holistic care, to niche care such as sleep apnea or botox, bread and butter dentistry, or models with a comprehensive approach.
Whether you own a high-end aesthetic dental practice, provide a holistic approach, are passionate about treating airway challenges and sleep apnea, enjoy bread & butter dentistry, or yearn to practice more comprehensive care, PDA provides proven methods to address the unique challenges in each dental business model.
