These Two Things Will Help You Control Your Health Insurance Costs

Season 1 · Episode 181

Tuesday, September 16, 2025 • Duration 31:53

With health insurance costs spiraling out of control, employers can feel powerless to help their employees get the coverage they need.

The situation becomes all the more tragically ironic for companies in the oral healthcare space.

If you are a group or DSO with more than 50 employees depending on you to provide them with healthcare coverage options that meet their needs without breaking the bank, then this episode is for you.

In Episode 181 of The Patient First Podcast, I interview Mark Gaunya, GBA, LIA to learn how his company Captivated Health® is helping oral healthcare providers leverage their individual and collective experience to build a better healthcare future for their people.

This fresh and daring approach could be the only solution for success in a system designed for failure.

If you want to learn more after watching or listening to this interview, join Mark again on Friday, September 19 for a webinar that takes a deeper dive into this unique strategy.

I’m Dr. Bryan Laskin—a dentist, author, entrepreneur, data portability-enthusiast and patient advocate who wants more group practice owners to know how taking certain calculated risks can make health insurance better for all involved.

Tuesday, April 8, 2025 • Duration 17:27

Just as advances in technology are moving the practice of dentistry forward, so advances in clinical care are making a huge impact in the quality of care patients today receive.

In this episode, we talk about what she has been doing to help make more patients and providers aware of the benefits of minimally invasive dentistry and some modalities that can lower caries risk.

An Interview with OG Dental Marketing Specialist Nancy Lashley Sullivan

Season 1 · Episode 168

Tuesday, March 25, 2025 • Duration 24:54

I always say that the two greatest charlatans in dentistry (after dental insurance companies, of course) are marketers and consultants.

But this one marketing consultant breaks the mold. In fact, she’s the one who set the bar in the first place.

Nancy Lashley Sullivan began her rich and storied career 25 years ago when “dental marketing” wasn’t yet a concept. While the landscape of marketing in dentistry has changed over the years, Nancy’s approach has remained solidly grounded in authenticity. Her success has earned her the well-deserved title of “Dental Marketing Specialist.”

In this episode of The Patient First Podcast, Nancy tells her story of how she got into this very special line of consulting and explains where taking her own advice has gotten her today.

I’m Dr. Bryan Laskin—author, dentist and entrepreneur who has personally benefited from Nancy’s sage advice in the past and who enthusiastically recommends her to other dentists and business leaders in our industry.

Season 1 · Episode 167

Sunday, March 16, 2025 • Duration 33:09

The third-party payer system for healthcare in the United States isn’t as broken as you think…it’s much, much worse.

Although virtually every American citizen has had to contend with the needlessly yet deliberately complex circus of healthcare insurance, few have dug down as deep as author Frank Lobb to uncover the truth of how the system works.

In this episode of The Patient First Podcast, Frank and I discuss the chronic illness afflicting the American Healthcare System and exchange insights from our unique perspectives and experiences.

As Frank explains in this interview—and details in his latest book—healthcare providers across the nation owe it to patients everywhere to understand what we are all really up against.

This is an episode that anyone who has ever been a dental or medical patient absolutely must watch.

I’m Dr. Bryan Laskin—author, dentist, entrepreneur, patient and advocate for Standards that regulate every process in our healthcare system.
