This is a great concept I heard recently and a trap we all fall into, especially if you are like me and an approval junkie.
If you have a 100% success rate in implant dentistry for implants you have placed over the last 10 years, I don’t believe you. But if you did, there is no need to tell anybody outside of your patients and your practice because the patients will come and the work that you do will be great and it will self-propagate.
If you have a terrible success rate it is possible to achieve national recognition by shouting really loudly and getting in all the right paces at the right times. I have seen this done regularly which therefore makes a mockery of the results vs recognition thing because really; recognition should come with exceptional results not the other way around. Infact, recognition is probably not important if the results are excellent.
So I think we will continue to go about our business in more of a low key fashion trying to achieve the results and hope that the recognition will come by itself.
