Staffing headaches keeping you up at night? You're not alone. In this episode, we sit down with Christine Sison — founder of Swiss Monkey and wife to a practicing dentist — a dental industry innovator who got tired of watching her own husband's practice struggle and decided to build the solution herself. Christine breaks down how she's tackling the staffing shortage head-on with a remote workforce model that plugs into your practice fast, and why the future of the patient experience might look very different from what you expect. If you're a practice owner tired of the hiring hamster wheel, or scared about how to afford the team that your start-up needs to succeed; this one's for you.
