Building Lasting Trust with Pediatric Patients

Dr. Cody Masts joins host Dr. Joel Berg for a conversation on the importance of building relationships with your pediatric patients. Dr. Mast shares his winding journey that led him to choosing dentistry and why working in pediatrics appealed to him after first treating adults. He also discusses how cultivating relationships can be even more impactful for your business, especially concerning patients utilizing Medicaid, from his perspective as the CEO of a 15-office practice group. Guest Bio: Dr. Cody Mast is a board-certified pediatric dentist who grew up in Bellevue, Wash. He is the son of a pediatric dentist and a dental hygienist. Everything he has learned in dentistry is a culmination of tools he took from those before him, and he owes all of his success to both them and his patient wife of almost 25 years. He graduated from Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine in 2002 and completed his certificate in pediatric dentistry at Indiana University in 2004. He is a proud father of two teenage daughters, practices clinical dentistry four days a week in Issaquah, WA, and is also the CEO of PIP Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, a large, privately owned group practice consisting of 15 locations throughout Wash. and Ore.
