Sandy Pardue and Dana Salisbury of Classic Practice Resources discuss issues facing the dental practice owner of today. This podcast show features the movers and shakers of the dental industry as well as opinion leaders. Enjoy the fun, laid-back vibe as things get real. Dana has been in dentistry for over 15 years. She first entered the industry at the ripe old age of 18 years old selling a crown and bridge removal system. She left to go to college and worked part-time, moving to full-time after graduating from Southeastern Louisiana University with a degree in Marketing and almost a minor in Math (but she barely remembers how to reduce fractions nowadays). Sandy is an energetic lecturer and consultant in the area of dental practice management. She is Director of Consulting with Classic Practice Resources and has over 36 years of “hands-on” experience.
