Wiley-Blackwell, c2008

This book is "a highly accessible reference to dental treatment of medically compromised patients. The ability to treat medically compromised patients is necessary for most dentists and dental professionals, and this book serves as a guide to effectively treat these patients. In a succinct, easy-to-use format, Dentist's Guide to Medical Conditions and Complications outlines protocols for treating patients with common conditions, presents essential drug interaction information, and guides the dental professional through the prevention and management of in-office medical emergencies."

Quintessence, c2009

"Written as a novel, this book models a real-life story about how a dentist improved his practice from a loss to over $2 million in net profit in a few years while simultaneously enhancing the quality of patient care. Dental practitioners and their staff will find this engaging story an easy and fun way to learn how to implement powerful, scientifically based project management principles into their practice. The story provides a relatable way to understand the approach presented, which encourages dentists and their staff to resist complicated management strategies and cost-cutting techniques and instead implement commonsense measures based on an understanding of the cause and effect that occurs when changes are made in a practice."
