Dental and orthodontic practices

Coaching for the business side of your practice.

You trained as a dentist or an orthodontist. No one taught you to run the business. We work with practice owners on staff, the schedule, costs and who takes over.

Sound Familiar?

Does this sound like your practice?

  • The schedule is full, the margin is thin

    The chairs are busy. Costs keep rising. What is left at the end of the month does not match the work.

  • Staff turnover keeps setting you back

    You train a new hire, then lose them. Every opening costs you weeks.

  • Everything waits on you

    Hiring, ordering, the schedule. You do it in the gaps, or late at night.

  • You are thinking about what comes next

    A sale, an associate who buys in, or a partner. You do not know yet what the practice is worth.

What We Look At

How It Works

Questions

Questions owners ask.

What does a dental practice consultant do?
We look at how the practice runs as a business: the team, the schedule, overhead and the plan for who takes over. Then we write a plan for what to fix first. After that we meet each month to keep at it.
How much does it cost?
The first call costs you 20 to 30 minutes. After that, we set the price from the size of your business. You see the number before any paid work starts.
Do you work with practices in other states?
Yes. Our office is in Northampton, MA. If you are nearby, we aim to meet in person. If not, we meet by video or phone, so we work with practices in other states too.
Do you take the place of my accountant?
No. We work with your accountant. We help you see what to fix in the business, and what to ask them, and when.
When should I start planning to sell my practice?
Years before you want to. A buyer looks at the team, the books and how much of the practice runs through you. Those take time to change.

We also work with trades and orthopedic practices.
