Dentistry Lag
Authored by Rickey Combs
I am a dentist. Our business has been very slow lately. People will make appointments and never show. I guess it is due to the slower economy. Patients also are not spending any money on cosmetic dentistry. They are only coming in when they need to be seen for their yearly or when they are in pain. Business is hurting. I met with my office manager last week and she showed me the books and the numbers. I was terribly upset when I realized that if business did not pick back up that I was going to have to let someone go or drastically reduce some employee’s hours. I hate the thought of those who have worked so hard to support me suffering. I decided to try and cut our monthly overhead at the office as much as I could. I logged onto www.texaselectricityproviders.com and got a better electricity rate. I also cancelled the cable that was really just for the break room. I also decided to start doing the yard work on my own and cancel our contract with the landscaper. I have saved a lot but am still keeping my fingers crossed that business picks back up!
