Team Workshop July 2019:  Building appointment books.

The content that you have delivered offers a totally new perspective into dentistry, which is sorely needed at dental school.  Getting to know about some of the expectations and workflow of private practice gives me peace of mind.  Would love even more tips and tricks from the experiences you have had, there is so much to learn as a young dentist!

“The broad knowledge Nupur has as a Dentist, Manager, and Educator gives a thorough approach to the issues a dental practice faces.”

Onsite Team Workshop 2019

” Nupur is a great listener, it is so easy to talk to her about all the issues and concerns I have encountered as a new grad. Her advice is always fair, rational, objective but still very personal and empathetic. I could not have recommended her service enough for anyone who is finding their own stance as a young dental professional.”

Dental Coach/Mentor 2017

“My name is Tina Zeremes and I have been in the Dental Industry for over 35 years. I worked with Nupur Hackwood for a period of 5 years.  Nupur believed that with knowledge there is power and with power you gain more confident and efficient staff. With weekly staff meetings, practice issues would be discussed and resolved or training issues addressed, which kept staff up to date with dental procedures. Equipped with extensive knowledge we were able to go above and beyond our normal dental assisting skills, which in return made us an asset to any dental practice.  With good management skills Nupur delegated roles to the appropriate staff members giving them responsibility and a purpose within the practice. I can truly say that in the 5 years that I had the opportunity to work alongside Nupur I learnt more than I ever  had in the 30 years of being a Dental Assistant.  I am grateful to have had the opportunity to have gained the skills I have today”.

“ Nupur is a critical thinker. She is efficient, creative and genuine in her approach to problem solving. In doing so she brings to light many facets of an individual’s personality. ”

2016

“ I had the best experience talking to Dr Nupur Hackwood regarding practice setup. For a person like me who has no experience about setting up or buying a practice, Dr Nupur’s advise and detailed insight is like an eye opener. From the very first meeting you feel confident and gain so much information.  Her inputs are clear, precise and each and every word makes so much sense.  I am really very fortunate to have met Dr Nupur and will definitely refer her to anyone who needs advise on all aspects of dentistry – clinical and non clinical.  Thank you Dr Nupur.”

2017

My name is Dr. Wolfgang Evers and I qualified as a dentist in Germany and re-qualified in Australia in 1998.
I have known Dr. Nupur Hackwood for more than 20 years.  During that time I have been impressed by her enthusiasm for the practical and academic aspects of dentistry.  When we studied together she was good at motivating fellow students and I can see her being a very good trainer.

“I write on behalf of the Department of Children’s Dentistry and the Goa Dental College & Hospital to convey our deepest gratitude for taking the time to visit our college and sharing your expertise and experiences in the area of communicating with children and adults who are extremely anxious in the dental setting.

It was exciting to hear about the new technique you developed which you shared through your presentation titled “A Novel approach combining TSD+GSD+NLP in treating apprehensive children.

Your style of presentation was very engaging and it was a joy to be a part of that audience. Thank you for adding a personal touch to your presentation by sharing your own experiences. It made it more believable and many could relate to what you were saying.  It also inspired us to look beyond the techniques that exist to the possibility of developing newer techniques ourselves.

Thank you once again and here’s looking forward to many more academically stimulating interactions in the future.
