Show Notes


How do you know if the person you recently hired is the right one? In this episode, Dr. Kuba and  Bethany discuss three recent examples where practice owners are evaluating this very question. At the 60 day point, one practice owner is already beginning to doubt her clinical assistant’s skillset. Another practice owner is trying to decide if it’s worth continuing to invest in his newest assistant who continues to buck the cultural norms of his practice. And yet, another practice owner likes her newest assistant (of 18 months) but the team can’t stand her. Dr. Kuba gives her advice in each of these three scenarios in hopes that listeners have tools to use when they are trying to decide whether to hire or fire.
