About this Episode

This week Kyle shares what he learned from a recent trip to Japan and South Korea where he visited dental clinics to study how they acquire patients, deliver care and position themselves in their markets. He covers why the patient experience in Tokyo and Seoul feels more like a high-end retail experience than a dental office, why technology that's considered "advanced" in the U.S. is standard in Asian clinics, how South Korea's dental tourism industry grew 588% in a single year and what their patient acquisition strategies look like compared to American practices. Kyle breaks down what he's bringing back to Alpha Dog's practices immediately and why the timing lines up perfectly with everything changing in Google and AI search right now. This one is different from the usual newsletter, more personal, more global and a look at where dentistry is headed.
