The Less Insurance Dependence podcast series exposes that misperception, shedding light on how Dentists can thrive by breaking out of the insurance-controlled business model.

    Relevant, helpful, concise
    I like listening to podcasts on my way to work, and this one has so much relevant information that I often pause it and “ask siri” to remember a piece of information for me. Very specific, relevant, helpful information that I would expect most consultants to charge me to get access to!! LOVE this podcast!!!!

    Thanks!
    Gentlemen, Your content has been instrumental and foundational in me finally creating an insurance independent platform to take my practice up the ladder! A decade ago, we attempted to exit network participation without a real game plan. News flash...it did not work. Fast forward to 2019, and we now have a fully built and written system that we launched in late 2019. The pinnacle will be the planned exit from Delta in 2021. After acquiring a second practice location last fall, the plan is to implement this strategy once they are fully converted into our overall culture, operating processes, and protocols. We routinely incorporate the podcast content in our growth and development endeavors as well. To anyone browsing podcast land for great dental practice Mgt content, look no further and subscribe! You will likely binge listen once you start! I look forward to meeting up with you and many other like-minded dental professionals at the One Day MBA Workshop in Austin. Thanks, Dr. Tom Reed

    I have known and worked with Gary for more than a decade. He understands what it is to be a dentist; why we are at times trapped in our own psychology and how to change our paradigms more than anyone else I have ever worked with or hired.

    Gary, the Podfather of Dentistry, Hits Another Homerun
    Take a dry subject, dental insurance, add a pinch of Canadian savvy, and a pound of Takacs Magic and you have a recipe for a fun 15 minutes. The nail in the coffin for many dental practices is reliance on dental insurance, and not the good kind. This podcast series will lighten your load and make you profits. A well worth it way to spend a few minutes each week.
  • Bob Barkley Study Club
    Gary Takacs Rocks!
    Gary Takacs has one of the sharpest minds in all of dentistry. Listen and learn with Gary on how to thrive as an insurance-independent, truly patient-centered practice!

    The Scourge of Dental Insurance
    The insurance industry in Dentistry has a stranglehold on many practices today. As they continue to cut reimbursements while collecting premiums, they win and the patient and practice loses. Bust Loose and Break Free.
  • fredjoyal
    Right on the Money!
    I mean this headline in two ways: this podcast is right on target with how to deal with one of the biggest challenges in dentistry today, and it’s right about how to get properly paid for the work that you do. Gary knows what he’s talking about. He’s partners in an extremely successful dental practice in Arizona, so his knowledge is first hand. Every dentist should be listening to this podcast—twice! It’s a life changer!
  • ngreendentist

    Wow! What an amazing view on not only the Patient Experience with Insurance Dependency but the truth on the clouded decisions we make due to this. It's happened to me personally and struck a nerve, Very grateful for your education around the topic. I can sense both of your passion and knowledge about this subject and how much you both care. Thank you for this, love listening!

    One of the fastest ways to increase top line revenue is to increase your average production per visit and reducing dependency (where it’s right) on insurance is one of the fastest ways to accomplish this. Gary, what an awesome job on helping individuals understand how to delicately navigate through this process 👍🏼👍🏼
  • rapple1728
