Jordon Comstock is founder of BoomCloud Apps, provider of in-house membership software for dental practices all over the country. Inspired by his deep knowledge of the dental industry, a passion for user interface design, and a book called The Automatic Customer, Jordon built a platform that allows practices to offer, manage, and track a variety of membership solutions for their patients. In this Dentist Money™ interview, Jordon explains how fee-for-service models can work alongside PPO plans to stabilize revenue, expand patient base, and improve retention.

Dr. James Anderson wasn’t wired to follow the traditional path of dentistry. Within a year of starting a practice, he hired his first associate and caught the entrepreneurial bug (or as he calls it, “A.D.D.”). Since then, he started nine successful practices, built one of the largest dental billing companies in the nation, and even opened an arcade. In this episode of Dentist Money™, Dr. Anderson recounts important lessons he’s learned about practice expansion, managing accounts receivable, and incentivizing staff.
