My View of Dentistry Changed When I Became a Practice Owner 14 Years Ago!

Before owning a dental practice of my own, I was a dental practice management coach for over three decades. It wasn’t until I had the time to work on my practice; I realized something significant to me as a practice owner; how much we were writing off due to Insurance.

It was the year 2007 during the Great Recession...

We were looking at our expenses 3 months after we bought the practice, and the reality of the situation we were in came to light; we were infected with over 34 PPO Plans and an overhead of 80%!

I learned two things that day, which changed my perspective on practice ownership forever!

  1. I can’t develop a thriving & profitable dental practice if we are insurance-dependent.
  2. Insurance-driven patients are less likely to consider ideal dentistry, putting their oral health at risk!

Most Importantly, I realized over 90% of practices are heavily insurance dependent, just like we were!

That’s when I made it my life’s work to help more dentists like us achieve a thriving & profitable practice like they deserve to!

Ever since then, over 2200+ Practices later, I’ve worked towards creating a pathway that allowed my coaching clients to help them achieve a practice that provides them with personal, financial & professional satisfaction!
I’ve had the privilege to help dentists at multiple stages in their careers, from start-up practices, multi-practice expansions all the way to helping dentists transition towards retirement...
My legacy in life is to support you & your team members in developing a practice that helps you and your patients live & love dentistry!

I designed the 24 systems as a set of simple yet highly effective tools to help dentists increase productivity, create structure, and effectively manage workflow in their practices. It is my firm belief that with these systems in place, your practice will be on its way to achieving a 10% total production growth yearly (or even more in some cases).

We usually begin the process by implementing 2 systems per month. Ideally, it would take a week to introduce a system to the team and another week to implement it. What's more, my team will follow up with you and your 'champions' at least twice a week. Champions are those in your practice who you believe can be responsible for coordinating particular systems, you will learn more about this as we progress through the systems. We will also continue to monitor your numbers through a weekly progress report and if the results are not as expected, I will work with you to figure out the root cause.

No, it's personalized. However, we have a full calendar planned with special coaching events for our clients. These are sessions where I discuss and introduce new ideas in a group setting, which will provide you the opportunity to interact with and learn from other practices. As always, if any of my clients require individual attention, they can always set up a meeting with me via our virtual calendar or they can simply email or text either me or my team.

Yes, Our Practice Management Advisors will be in touch with your team to track/review progress more than twice a week. We expect our clients to provide us a ‘Weekly Progress Update’ (positive/negative) so that we can give you feedback.

Absolutely! We are introducing individual KPIs for all your team members.

The systems training will be shared in a video/document format. I want you and your team to go through each system's training materials and learn & implement them at your own pace. Our Practice Management Advisors will be monitoring and tracking the progress of these systems, and provide more assistance/advice as needed.

Yes, my team keeps me updated with each and everyone’s progress weekly and if someone is struggling, I will address those issues personally. Apart from that, I conduct a special session to review the progress monthly. This is done in a group setting. However, everyone is free to ask any questions and discuss solutions with me. Hence, everyone gets to learn from each other.
