What we do every day is not a job, it’s our pride, our identity. Our hands, our minds, our hearts all pour in with the hope of a better tomorrow. Not just for us but mainly, for them, to those we dedicated our lives to. We have been chosen, we have been trained, we keep up with the pace daily…

As time goes by, the lava released between the cracks will rapidly solidify, fusing the broken pieces, but some time in the wrong formation with no logic nor usefulness. Before the lava sets, we need to act. We will get burned from the heat, but it is either that or the permanent settling of scars…

As doctors and dentists, we hold a very particular position. On one hand, we are in authority to almost dictate the course of action to heal a patient. On the other hand, we are doing our best to please and seduce the clientele… especially when you own your practice! What felt awkward and unease at the beginning came to be a blessing to me. Standing on a very thin line, I came to become a better man. With the years, it came to become…

It’s a matter of perspective, not only to you but to your audience. Unlike going to the theater and to watch movie trailers, your audience hates to be kept holding their breath in waiting for what is coming next. This is about feelings, remember? So cut the chase. It will hurt, and it won’t be pretty. The sooner, the better, so they can start healing, both physically and mentally…

After everything that we have been through, in education and in science we trust. What can be replicated, with a proven outcome, is what we pledge by. Unfortunately, we’ve learned to heal, to save, to care. We never learned to count, the real math, the finance of life…

In the first chapter, we dove right in the middle of the subject, how to succeed in the dental chair. If you boil it down, it all comes down to COMMUNICATION and TRUST. The surgical skills and science, those you all got from your time in dental school. You wouldn't have a license if you didn’t satisfy the highest of standard…

If you are in a hurry and just need to retain one single concept of this book, this is it, plain and simple. Connect with your patients! Connect in order to understand their needs and stress, connect in order to deliver the right care, medicinal and emotional wise. Connect to have a chance to share the knowledge and satisfaction of victory. Because yes, each time you are performing a treatment and are easing pain, it is a victory that often, we are too busy moving to the next operation room to fully feel and share.

Wow, this is my 46th book within 23 months. Crazy is my new normal! Since the launch of Dr. Bak’s brand with the event back in April, the pace is just picking up. Since, I managed to publish 7 books on Amazon, adding to my first title, CHANGING THE WORLD FROM A DENTAL CHAIR, published by a professional editor. And 21 titles on Apple Books. On the matter, I have to thank Apple for their trust and support since they…

Opportunities are lining our lives. Life itself is an opportunity. Even though, we are rarely proactive and time is unapologetic. It just goes by. I have been invited to join an inspiring project by an eternal optimist Dr. Bak Nguyen. It came as a surprise after a relatively condensed time of lively discussion, exchange of ideas and experiences…

Dear colleagues, let me share with you my story. I have been blessed to be able to do for a living what I had wished to be when I was in high school: dentistry. Although I had dreamed about being an inspector, a firefighter and an astronaut…
