Quotes:
“You have a provider in one spot, and a patient in a different spot.”
“In teledentistry, we need to have a provider on site with the patient.”
“Also, it works great in-office for referrals to specialists.”
“It really streamlines everything, and helps things move more smoothly.”
“Teledentistry applies that technology that we’re using in every other aspect of our lives and brings it into dentistry to make things easier for us and our patients.”
“Using teledentistry they only are transported once and all of their treatment is taken care of at that one appointment.”
“I heard a dentist refer to it as ‘that Star Wars dentistry’ – it’s not anything like that!”
“It just makes life easier for the patient…it’s just perfect.”
