Last episode 5 November 2026. Still going.

We worked that label out on 8 November 2026 from the date of the last episode in the feed. How we do it.

Hosted by Avi Patel

The Doctor Avi Show: Inside Modern Dentistry Dentistry is evolving — fast. Most people aren’t having honest conversations about it. Hosted by Dr. Avi Patel, this podcast brings together DSO leaders, solo practice owners, associates, and industry innovators to talk about what’s actually working in modern dentistry — from growth and retention to burnout, leadership, and influence. No fluff. No safe answers. Just real conversations about where the profession is headed — and how to position yourself to win.

How the show describes itself, taken from its own feed. We did not write it and we have not edited it.

Nobody starts with a number. We score a page once three independent sources back it up, and this one has 3. They are listed further down. The next scoring run is what turns them into a number.

a blank is honest. a zero would be a lie

Podcasts get the same two numbers as everybody else, worked out the same published way. That has not been run yet, so both read . We are never going to rank these shows on downloads, because nobody publishes a download figure we could check.
