Thinking Philosophically

Balancing a dedicated orthodontic career with a full family life can be a trial.  In this section we have highlighted a shortened version (Cliff Notes, if you will) of some very profound ​approaches to life balance. The appropriate philosophy allows the science and the art of the practice to thrive. At the end, please find some business dissertations and last but not least, a little bit of orthodontic humor.

The Incomparable

Dr. Steve Tracey On Leadership

™Dr. Steven Tracey. All rights preserved

On September 24, 1999 Dr. Steve Tracey

gave an incredible presentation to doctors, staff and friends on the subject

of leadership. For nearly two hours he and his audience laughed and cried together.  When he finished he was

blessed with a standing ovation. It was a truly inspirational presentation.  Drs. Hilgers and Tracey taught their "Adventures in Orthodontics" seminar together for many years.  Unfortunately

Steve was never able to publish this

presentation as he passed away in

2016. We decided to share this with you

in the memory of this incomparable

orthodontist and motivational genius.
