Investment Grade Practice™ News – June 2024
Dear Doctor,
It takes more than courage to turn your dream into reality.
In fact, many aren’t up to the task.
The reality is that it requires self awareness, emotional resilience, discipline, and sacrifice.
Most of all, it calls for clarity.
When I learned how to ride a horse, I was taught that the horse will go where my focus goes. If I pulled the reigns to the right, but my focus was elsewhere, the horse would instinctively know to go where my force was. What we think we want, and where we are going, can be miles apart.
The good news is that it’s never too late to correct course.
This year marks PDA’s 20th anniversary, and our theme is “Turn Your Dreams Into Reality” for this very reason. Regardless of age, geographic location, number of operatories, service mix, or even clinical ability, doctors who live their dream have these three characteristics in common:
- Clarity
- Refinement
- Alignment
In this month’s newsletter we highlight Dr. Chad Johnson, a practicing dentist from Des Moines, Iowa, and co-host of the Everyday Practices Dental Podcast. In a special episode, I interview Chad about the exact steps he took to turn his dreams into reality, and the support he gathered along the way to make it happen.
As PDA Co-founder & CEO Dr. Victoria Peterson often says, “Success requires support.” We are grateful to have supported thousands of practices, and we are here for you, too.
Discover the roadmap so you can turn your dreams into reality.

Over The Shoulder:
Witness Productive Dentistry in Action
How would you feel if you had a first-hand glimpse into the daily routine of a productive dentist?
At the PDA Over-the-Shoulder program you can witness firsthand how productive dentists translate theory into practice.
Guided by PDA coaches, and led by esteemed PDA Faculty Dr. Wade Kifer, this is a unique opportunity to learn practical applications of concepts taught at the PDA Productivity Workshops/Conferences.
Reported outcomes from doctors who have applied these strategies are astounding, in some cases production growth surpasses eight-times the norm.
Attendee Dr. Devin Giron states, “My biggest takeaway from Over-The-Shoulder was listening to how the doctor and team communicate. My team and I took down an entire page of phrases. A few of these have already made a big impact on our practice. I printed it out and put it up on my office wall to review every day.”
