Straight Talk from Glenn: An Open Letter to Clinic Owners

Listen folks, Mr. Clinic Owner, Coordinator...

I want to talk straight across the table with you about why I wrote this book, why I’m offering it to your clinic for less than a dollar a copy, and how we can help a whole lot of people together.

Every clinic I contacted when I was looking for implants sent me the exact same thing: a glossy brochure filled with smiling models, pristine white teeth, and promises of five-star luxury. And you know what? Most American patients see right through that. They know you spent good money on that brochure, but it doesn't ease their fear one bit. Nobody expects a brochure to say, 'Hey, the swelling is rough on day two,' or 'You’re not going to be able to chew a steak for four months.'

When an American is looking at flying 5,000 miles across the ocean to Istanbul, Colombia, or Mexico, they are scared to death. They don't know the language. They hear crazy things on the news. They wonder if they're going to land in a strange country and get taken advantage of.

I know that fear because I lived it. I was quoted $60,000 in Orlando, Florida. That’s impossible money for working folks. So at 72 years old, I bought a one-way ticket and flew by myself to Istanbul to have 12 implants placed.

And I will tell you the honest truth: I am glad I did it. I don’t have a single regret.

I didn’t have terrible pain. I had great doctors. I met wonderful, kind people who helped me when I was lost. But I did run into confusing logistics, lost luggage, and the fact that nobody warned me I wouldn't be able to chew a bite of solid food for four months. Luckily, I was a firefighter years ago and knew how to cook, so I threw together hearty no-chew recipes—my potato soup, one-pot soft pasta, and protein shakes—just to survive. I share those recipes with my readers for free.

Now, I used to build custom homes. And I used to tell my homebuyers: 'Nobody builds a 100% perfect house. We're dealing with weather, ground, and human hands. But when something needs adjusting, we come right back out and make it right.'

It's like the old story about the two ladies talking about washing machines. One lady says her machine had a few problems over the years, but she bought the same brand again. Why? Because every time she called, a repairman showed up with a smile and fixed it. People don't expect doctors to be God. They know the human body has 'weather' too. What they want is an honest team that communicates, stands behind their work, and treats them like family.

You might wonder why I’m selling you this book for 97 cents. Let me lay all my cards face up:

Yes, I write books to make a living. I write Christian books, self-help books, and business books. I’m 72 years old and I’ve been through a lot. My philosophy in life has always been: you help enough other people get what they want, and you automatically get what you want.

If I charged you what this book is actually worth, you wouldn't hand it out to everyone. At 97 cents, you can give it to every single WhatsApp inquiry without blinking. Where I make my money is on page 86: I offer a private, one-hour consultation for $197 to any reader who wants to talk to a fellow American who sat in the chair. And when they get on the phone with me, I don't talk them out of coming—I talk them INTO coming. I tell them: 'Find an honest clinic, get your answers in writing, pack your bags, and go get your smile back.'

Years ago, I had a young carpenter working for me named Gary. A hammer had bounced back and knocked all his front teeth out. For years, that poor kid never smiled at anybody. He was embarrassed to death. My brother and I paid to get his teeth fixed as a Christmas gift, and watching that boy smile again almost made me cry. It changed his entire life.

I know what it feels like to avoid the camera, avoid dates, and eat behind a napkin. There are thousands of Americans living in that shame right now who need your clinic.

If you’re a shady clinic that wants to hide the truth, you won’t want this book. But if you’re a good clinic that does honest work, this book is the most credible, sincere advocate you will ever put in a patient's hands.

Let's take away their fear. Let's give them an adventure. And let's help them smile again.
