Quotes

“There was very little of the actual general practice of law that I enjoyed.” 

“Do what fills you and makes you feel whole and authentic.”

“Pacific Dental Services, through the pandemic, has done a great job communicating the messages around dental safety.” 

“You were able to intertwine compliance into Pacific’s values.” 

“Our values are 200+ words, straight from Stephen Thorne’s heart.” 

“We don't just have a compliance program, we have a compliance and ethics program.” 

“There is a paradox to rules, the more of them there are, the more you are in essence incenting people to find a way around them.”  

“We've done extensive work in translating those values into desired behaviors.” 

“It's not PDS saying ‘this is how you should behave’ it’s your peers.” 

“OSAP is compliance nirvana.” 

“Give your people a reason to go to work.”
