The Margin Line

Dr. Barry Bartusiak runs appointments in 10-minute blocks, ends every day at the gym by 3 p.m., and still outperforms neighbors who work twice the hours. 

After 35+ years running his own practice in Washington, PA, delivering 575+ lectures across 44 states, training an estimated 10% of practicing U.S. dentists, and working as the Pittsburgh Steelers' team dentist, Dr. B joins us on The Margin Line to walk Joe Lynch through:
  • Building a patient-first culture where tech (Dandy scanners, Pearl AI, SOTA Cloud) eliminates confusion and objections
  • Creating “wow” moments that turn scans into same-day lab starts and 98 consecutive flawless crowns
  • Why clean bathrooms close more cases than fancy chairs 
  • The $25K-per-employee metric, the 90-day peer review for new hires, and keeping problems small
  • How to identify the best new tech and why Colgate’s home-care has his full attention
Listen for a relentlessly practical guide to shrinking appointment times, raising production, and making every teammate and patient feel like the most important thing in the room.
