Dr. Eric Block almost left dentistry. Halfway through his career he was anxious, burned out, and counting the minutes until he could retire. This conversation with Dr. Aditi Agarwal is about how he turned that around, and what he's learned in 22 years of practice.

We cover:

→ The burnout and "midlife crisis" that nearly ended his career

→ Therapy, perfectionism, and why so many dentists feel this way

→ His advice for new dentists (and why your first 3 years are the minor leagues)

→ Why systems matter, and the SOP tool he built after a key staff member retired

→ Wellness coaching through the Academy of Dental Life Coaches

→ How he went fully out of network, including dropping Delta at 50% of his practice
