Terry Goss & Associates - Dental Team Training and Consulting Firm

Exceptional

Patient
Facilitation

Support and improve your individual dental patients quality of life experience.

Through a process of Co-Discovery and Co-Diagnosis we learn about the patient while they learn about themselves. The more we understand those we serve as unique individuals, the better we are able to create an environment of safety and trust and build healthy relationships.

The first and most fundamental skill to our success is asking powerful questions driven by genuine curiosity. With exceptional patient facilitation skills, we listen for our patient’s core values and the deeper meaning of what has shaped their beliefs, fears, and barriers. We learn how their current conditions are impacting their quality of life and we help them imagine what might be possible. Our support through their decision-making process helps our patients find their own motivation for change and promotes learning and ownership.
