This week Clint and Russell interview Jimmy and Courtney Nelson from Metairie, LA. Jimmy is dentist in Metairie, LA and Courtney runs their office. The four of us talk about the fun of dealing with rude patients as well as the more fun part of kicking their butts to the curb. We especially love it when they beg to come back.

Finally, Courtney gives us "Just the Tip" on how to travel better.
Their office's website is at www.nelsondentalcarela.com and both can be found on FB and IG.
