Getting to Know Steve Anderson and ToPS
Total Patient Services, the door to more clinical dentistry. Get to know more about them and the man behind it, Steve Anderson.
What Have You Learned From Dentistry
“Majority of the vast number of dentists are very conservative in their approach; they want to connect with the patient really earnestly, want to do what’s right and many times I don’t necessarily tell them everything that is necessarily possible. That’s the piece of it where creating an environment where the dentist can speak openly and lay everything out on the table so the patient can make the right choices for themselves, that’s one of the keys.”
Dentistry Changed My Life
“I’m a patient first. Dentistry’s literally changed my life and so has my passion for helping practices and formatting them in a way that they can do that for more people, I’m all in on this. I’ve had personal experience. I know what it can do for people and helping practices structure themselves in such a way that they can do more of that for other people. That’s what I’m all about.” – Steve Anderson

Controlling Negative Self-Talk
“One of the things that I learned from riding a motorcycle is this key lesson for life: the bike goes where your eyes go. So whatever you’re looking at, that’s where you’re going. When you’re looking right, that’s a lesson for life, which is you: go. Where your eyes go and where you choose to focus is where you’re going to go. So it goes back to the fact that you can’t focus on the opposite of an idea.”
