Your Hosts

I’m putting my money where my mouth is. Although I am not a dentist, I do own a dental practice in Phoenix Arizona and we have, in my own practice, successfully reduced our insurance dependency.

Numbers don’t lie, truth doesn’t lie. You really need to look at the numbers, because you are literally losing money with clients who have PPO Insurance.
Naren Arulrajah
CEO of Ekwa Marketing & Host of the Growing Dentist Podcast.
Naren, you’re a genius! Simply a genius. I so appreciate a big thinker that takes the complexity out of things. You’ve done it in terms of a complex thing called marketing & being successful with digital marketing and you’ve mastered it. And what you’ve done with Ekwa and making it easy for dentists and their teams to market themselves is nothing short of miraculous. So if you’re a dentist that wants to automate how you approach your practice and your marketing, check out Naren and Ekwa.

Our Listeners Love Less Insurance Dependence!

Less Insurance Dependence
Rating: 5 Gary, the Podfather of Dentistry, Hits Another Homerun " Take a dry subject, dental insurance, add a pinch of Canadian savvy, and a pound of Takacs Magic and you have a recipe for a fun 15 minutes. The nail in the coffin for many dental practices is reliance on dental insurance and not the good kind. This podcast series will lighten your load and make you profits. A well worth it way to spend a few minutes each week. "
Less Insurance Dependence
Rating: 5 Right on the Money! " I mean this headline in two ways: this podcast is right on target with how to deal with one of the biggest challenges in dentistry today, and it’s right about how to get properly paid for the work that you do. Gary knows what he’s talking about. His partners in an extremely successful dental practice in Arizona, so his knowledge is first hand. Every dentist should be listening to this podcast €twice! It’s a life changer! "
