He experienced a lost lease, an embezzlement scheme, robbery at gun point, and a major fire after which the team worked out of 3 offices before settling into an abandoned dental office while he rebuilt.

The fourth month after the fire, Dr. Simon’s practice had the best production month in practice history. These experiences, coupled with Dr. Simon’s passion to help dentists succeed, have inspired him to speak to and mentor dentists.

Sharing experiences and imparting lessons in leadership, communication and practice management principles, Dr. Simon encourages dentists and dental students with the knowledge and hope they need to allay their fears and facilitate their success.

"A WEALTH OF PRACTICAL INFORMATION"
"Bill Simon has a wealth of practical and useful information to share with young dentists from his highest highs and his lowest lows.... He has lived the All American dream most dentists hope for....yet he has had several hiccups along the way that could have turned his American dream into his worst nightmare! But it didn’t. New dentists will be impressed, enlightened and in awe of Bill Simon’s secret of staying on track through each event that can (and most likely) will happen in a seasoned dentist’s career."
