In this episode of the Greatest Hits Series, I welcomed back the legendary Dr. Ron Roncone to discuss the art and science of creating an ultra-efficient orthodontic practice.
Dr. Roncone walks through the origin and evolution of his JSOP (Just Short Of Perfect) system, detailing how he dramatically cut down on appointments, increased production per team member, and maintained clinical excellence.
He combined a powerful blend of strategic scheduling, consistent clinical protocols, and staff accountability. He shares specifics that brought remarkable results, including reduced emergencies and improved case acceptance.
We also talked about the deep importance of verbal skills in case acceptance and why many orthodontists end up retreating cases due to poor foundational decisions.
The episode is a masterclass in orthodontic thinking and systems for any orthodontist looking to run their practice better from someone who has done it all. Tune in!
