Dr. Jamison Spencer has watched that happen for 25 years, and in this episode he tells Dr. Erin Elliott and Jason Tierney exactly why it keeps happening.

Dr. Kandula is a board-certified ENT and the founder/CEO of ADVENT, an ENT practice built around treating airway concerns across what he calls the "breathing triangle."

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    In this episode, Dr. Elliott and Jason Tierney sit down with Dr. Mark Murphy to discuss the skill no one wants to talk about that goes ignored at your detriment: communication. Dr. Murphy has spent more than 30 years in dental sleep medicine, from teaching alongside Dr. Keith Thornton at the Pankey Institute to practicing in Michigan, working in education, and helping launch a sleep program at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry.
