So I know it’s a little late in the year for this as we’re closer to 2025 now. Things overall remain steady. I feel like this year has been more stable than constant growth. Clients are telling me that they’ve noticed an overall slowing down in patient care. People have less money to spend and… Continue reading 2024 Update
2023 Update
So what’s been happening? Well as I’m sure you have noticed, it’s been a while since I posted anything. The reason is… busy. I don’t think I have ever been this busy in my life. I started reading CBCT scans on my own website at omrd.com. The feedback has been excellent and I get a… Continue reading 2023 Update
2020 Update
Per a request from Greg to update my status. What’s the lifestyle like? Still fantastic. I have been busier than the past two years. I think I have finally met my cap on how much work I can do in a day. Are you busy enough to work full time? I am much busier. In… Continue reading 2020 Update
2018 Update
Per a request from Dr E to update my status. No real changes since last year. In fact, I probably can copy and paste the previous update post and it would be true. To keep it similar I’m keeping the same headers. What’s the lifestyle like? Fantastic. Even busier than last year but I’m still… Continue reading 2018 Update
My 2017 Update
Per a request from Gary to update my status. Not a huge amount has changed. My practice is still radiology full time and seeing patients one day a week. I would like to split this post into sections of questions I get most commonly. These are not in any particular order. What’s the lifestyle… Continue reading My 2017 Update
New OMR Program
A new oral and maxillofacial radiology program has just been announced at Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine. The program will begin July 1st, 2017. What does this mean? Typically this means that the school sees an increased demand for the field. If my personal experience hasn’t been convincing enough… this is basically a good sign.… Continue reading New OMR Program
A Year Later
To update everyone on where I am. It’s been a year since getting my board certification and over two years since I started practicing (outside of residency). Easy to say, I love what I do. The lifestyle can’t be beaten. Really. In fact, there is nothing like being in total control of your own schedule.… Continue reading A Year Later
Boards, Boards and No More Boards
I am happy to announce that earlier last month I found out that I passed the boards. Yes… it is a good feeling. As of now I am officially a diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology. I am also practicing radiology and general dentistry and will continue to do so for… Continue reading Boards, Boards and No More Boards
Post Boards
I’m finally past the boards and what a great feeling it is. Now all that is left is to play the waiting game. The only feeling I get is that I wish I would have reviewed my anatomy more. It was obvious to me that I haven’t gone over that stuff. The exam itself: I… Continue reading Post Boards
Studying, studying and more lack of studying
For some reason I can’t get myself to study or prep for the boards. I guess it’s just one of those things where I have a mental block. My understanding is that there is a pathophysiology exam and then a written portion with case interpretations and a verbal portion with case interpretations. I do know… Continue reading Studying, studying and more lack of studying
