About this episode

This episode features a human dentist discussing parallels between dental and veterinary team challenges.

In this episode of The Vet Blast Podcast, Adam Christman welcomes a first-time guest type to the show: a human dentist. Martin R. Mendelson, FIADFE, CPC, shares the career-ending misdiagnosis that took him out of clinical dentistry for 17 months, how that experience led him into executive coaching and leadership work, and why the challenges dental teams face, from customer service to private equity pressure to imposter syndrome, mirror what veterinary teams deal with every day.
