30: Beyond Narcotics: How We Achieved a 95% Pain-Free Rate After Surgery

What if I told you that post-operative pain is largely optional? For years, my practice

has been operating on a little-known principle that has led to something

extraordinary: a 95% pain-free rate for our surgical patients. This isn’t

magic, and it’s not a secret I want to keep. It’s a systematic approach that

any practice can adopt, yet so few understand its true power.

It all comes down to the "setup"—a complete shift in how we prepare patients

for surgery. We’ve discovered that the moments before a procedure are even more

critical than the moments after. In this episode, I’m not just sharing a few

tips; I’m revealing the entire blueprint that has transformed my practice and

redefined what patients can expect from a surgical experience.

In This Episode, You Will Discover:

• The single most important shift in thinking that unlocks a pain-free patient

journey.

• How my counterintuitive, non-narcotic medication strategy has proven more effective

than traditional methods.

• The simple communication system that virtually guarantees patient compliance and

builds unshakable trust.

• The key to eliminating post-operative pain.

If you’re ready to challenge the conventions of patient care and build a practice known

for its remarkable outcomes, you can’t afford to miss this. Join me as I pull

back the curtain on the system that changed everything.
