Show Notes

In this episode of Dentistry Made Simple, Dr. T-Bone reveals what dentists can learn from an unlikely source: Buc-ee’s, the wildly successful gas station empire. By mastering the basics, defining a clear position, and creating an elevated experience, Buc-ee’s transformed a low-margin commodity into a destination brand. And you can do the same for your dental practice.

 

We’ll break down the strategies Buc-ee’s uses and show you how to apply them in your practice so you stop being just “another option” and start becoming the obvious choice for patients.
