Summary

Dr. John Flucke, Philips Oral Healthcare Key Opinion Leader (KOL), and Pamela Maragliano-Muniz of Dental Economics, discuss accessible care and how dental professionals can work together to support patients. Learn about Dr. Flucke’s career lessons, connection to Philips as a KOL, and why providing patients with accessible care is incredibly important to him.
