Dentist referrals will be important to his success. We would like to investigate ways to encourage dentists to make referrals. What would appeal to dentists to refer a new orthodontist? Building personal relationships are important, but this takes time. We are looking into possible payments for referrals to help get things started. Any other ideas?

It is amazing the asymmetry you see on these "so Called" routine cases "you don't know what you don't know" Bill Harrell ABO What percentage of the ortho cases would you consider “routine” ortho cases.
