A missing link Apr 14, 2009
By Robert P. McBride
David Clow describes a zone of misunderstood territory that lies between most dentists and patients/potential patients.
For the dentist, understanding this area can be an awakening that will add depth and joy to his practice. For the patient, it has the potential of opening a door to the most important aspects of their oral, systemic and emotional health.
Robert P. McBride, D.D.S., M.A.G.D.

Every dentist should read this book Apr 16, 2009
By Lynn D. Carlisle
"Publisher and editor, spiritofcaring.com"
Patients see things differently than dentists. Often, what is important to dentists is not important to patients. This seems like the hysterical discovery of the obvious, but dentists have a blind spot when it comes to seeing things from a patient's viewpoint.
They have a similar blind spot in their ability to communicate with patients. When asked to rate their ability to communicate with patients, 60% of physicians rated themselves in the top 10%. Dentists would probably have similar results.
David Clow's book A Few Words From The Chair, a patient speaks to dentists. does a great job of pointing out these blind spots and how dentists can eliminate them.
From the Foreword by Lynn D Carlisle, DDS, author of "In a Spirit of Caring Revisited", [...]

Highly recommended read from the dental team Feb 05, 2011
By Inge
This book fills a yawning gap in the dental literature. Books on communications in dentistry are usually written by dentists. Even with the best possible intentions, it is very difficult for dentists to truly imagine what the patient's perspective will be. This book written by a patient who is also a journalist effectively shows how patients and dentists often fail to understand one another. This can create unnecessary barriers to the dentist providing optimum dental care. The patient misses out on the health and quality of life gains today's best dental care can provide. The book gives pointers on how dentists can make their communication more effective. I congratulate David Clow on his constructive approach. I would recommend this book to dental health care providers. I hope that other patients follow David's example. Greg Finn, Specialist Prosthodontist, UK
