The Dental consulting firm that other consultants don't want you to know about.
Consulting

Consulting Advice from a real world dentist and dental office

We provide a wide variety of one on one consulting options designed to fit the range of needs and wants or the many different types of practices.
At $8 million per year, our office is huge, and we know that not everyone wants an office this big. However, in order for us to grow and stay organized, we always need to follow ‘best practices’. The principles we follow are the same for every practice. If it works for us it will work for you too.
The key is to know what type of practice you want; (we can even help you with that part); and then help you to achieve it.

Here are some of the ways we help dentists get to where they want to be: 

• Support from a distance over the telephone and internet

• Consulting in YOUR office

• Over the shoulder programs in OUR office

• We manage your manager

• We can help deal with or integrate and associate (We have 9 or 10 at any one time)

• Transitions; if you are thinking of selling there are many things that can be done ahead of time to increase the value of the practice

• Investment; we have strong feelings on exactly the type of investment dentists should be making that is low risk, stable, and low in time to manage

 

We always start with a FREE half hour strategy session. See bottom of page for full fee schedule.

When is the best day, time and number to call you for your free one on one personal dental practice management strategy session? During this call you will learn whether we can help you or not.

Consulting in YOUR office
When we come to your office, we can observe many intangibles. We will see things in your office that you can’t see because you have become accustomed to them. Sometimes there is an elephant in the room that you can’t even see.

Consulting in OUR office
There is an old saying, “I’m from Oklahoma, show me.”
Sometimes there is nothing better than seeing something with your own eyes when you are attempting to make a change.
It is one thing to talk about it, but quite another to actually see it.
Unlike any other consulting program, we have such a place. It is a state of the art 5000 square foot dental office where we produce and collect over $7 million per year.
We can create a customized in-house training program for the doctor, the office manager, or even the staff.
Make a holiday out of it and visit beautiful Banff National Park which is only an hour away.
Remember that since we are a functioning dental practice we cannot take an unlimited number of consulting clients; one per month is about our maximum. So if you are interested let us know well In advance as we do get booked up.

Transitions: Preparing your practice for sale
How to maximize the return on your years of investment in your dental practice:
Don’t shortchange yourself by letting your practice slip in your final years of practice.
It is possible to increase the value of your practice by 50-100%. Put that money into your retirement nest egg.

Manage your Manager
This sounds crazy until you stop and think about it for a minute.
Most dentists just want to do dentistry and somehow make the management crap disappear! Now that dream has become a reality.
What good is having an office manager if you have to spend all your time managing him or her?
I don’t want to get too personal here, but most of us dentists are too nice to lay any real heavy stuff onto their staff in case they get mad at us. We want the staff to love us!

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone else could say no instead of us? Because sometimes no is the correct answer.
Wouldn’t it be nice if someone could say, we can’t do that because it costs too much so we don’t have to feel like a cheap skate?
Wouldn’t it be nice if a situation came up, and your office manager could call someone, get advice, deal with the problem and you never even need to know about it?
Wouldn’t it be nice if someone else said, we need to increase our production so you don’t sound like you’re being greedy?
The idea here is that we become your manager’s boss and make sure he or she is really making the office better. In a measurable way.
Book a free half hour consult to talk about it.

Adding/ dealing with associates
The reason my office can produce over $7 million a year when I am only in 2 days per week is because I have 9 associates.
Associates are a way to catapult your office from mediocre to fantastic. They are also a way to destroy a practice if done incorrectly. Plus they will steal your patients if it goes bad so you can end up worse off than when you started.
We have a program specifically tailored to bringing in an Associate, and it starts at least 3 months before the associate sets foot in the door. Many details need to be properly laid out before anyone gets near the place.
And the selection process is CRITICAL. We have learned exactly what type of associate would benefit a practice and what type would hurt one.
The potential profit of a great arrangement is so high, and the cost of a bad one so steep that expert guidance is a must. Even one missed detail can ruin something that could have worked.
I am not strictly a consultant. I still own a large practice. My ideas on this have to work for me every day. I simply teach what I do; this is not theory.
No one knows associates like us. They are what make our office great. No one else anywhere has 9 or 10 associates in one office. Most dentists would say it could not be done and we have been doing it for 25 years. But you need to create this value one or two years before you are ready to sell. Don’t leave this till the last minute!
Book a free half hour consult and discover if we can help make your plans to introduce an associate a win/win/win/win for the associate, your staff, your patients and of course for you. Because if all 4 parties are not considered it will fail.

How a dentist should invest
If you have been in practice for more than a week you know that we dentists are seen as the proverbial cash cow to be milked by unscrupulous financial people.
There is an expression that if a man (or woman) with money meets a man with experience, the man with the experience ends up with the money and the man with the money ends up with experience.
Unfortunately, we as dentists never seem to learn from our mistakes and bounce from one person with a great story to the next, losing money at every point of contact.
I’m sure that almost every dentist that is reading this would be far better off financially if they had taken every dollar profit they have made in their practice and instead of investing it simply shove it under their mattress. Even though we did not get any return on our investment, at least we got a return OF our investment. We get this into these speculative deals where we’re expecting huge rate of return and instead we end up with a negative return and usually a complete loss of every cent we put in.
Then once you lose a bunch of money the return that you need on your other investments that is required to simply to catch up and get back to break even is substantial and virtually impossible to achieve. And yet we get to seem to go for these high risk investments where someone is promising the moon with no risk. Yet the truth of the matter is there’s always a lot more than we ever dreamed of. Most of us are fairly unsophisticated financially. We are very good at our dentistry, but we get busy at our practices. We don’t even have time to take a phone call all day let alone analyze and figure of these other businesses and industries that people are trying to talk us into.

They want the money they need the money and they’ve got a dream and it sounds so great and it seems like easy money compared to dentistry and invariably these schemes fall flat on their face.

If you try to take a conservative route where you’re not going with fly by night operators with speculative projects you’re dealing with investment counselors, financial planners and people of that type. These people almost always have a product to sell so you cannot get unbiased advice from them. Most of them are really poorly disguised insurance salesman and what they really want to sell you is some type of insurance policy or range of policies, Even the ones that are stock market broker types, will push you toward the stocks or commodities or whatever is they sell and you never really know if you’re getting the truth from them about what is in YOUR best interest.
They also charge extremely high Management fees on the products they sell. But what seems like a trivial commission that they charge, if your return is not that great that trivial commission might represent half or in some cases of all the return you get. So they don’t invest any money they come out pretty well no matter what happens to you yet you might end up making very little or losing a bit or maybe even still losing all the money yet they still get paid for putting you into it.

It’s your move
We’d love to hear from you. Either leave us your number or call us. It’s free. You will learn something worthwhile on the call, I guarantee it. I also guarantee no pressure and no obligation.

Fee Schedule
 

Consulting Fees for Dental Management Secrets

Unlike most Dental Consultants that want you to sign up for a $50,000 program, we only give you what you want and need.

We don’t have a fleet of “trained consultants” that prescribe the same solution to every office. Our consulting is done by Dr. Dave himself or his Office Manager Craig. We will be able to really figure out what will help you. We are busy running an $8,000,000 dental practice so we can only do a few per year, but the advice we provide is far more hard hitting and valuable than some “consultant” who is a dentist who no longer practices or someone who never did. We do this daily and know what works, but we don’t try to force you to be like us. We show you how to get to where ever it is you want to get.

All Office Analyses include a diagnosis of what is going on in your office right now, what works, what doesn’t and all the recommendations we can think of based on what your office is doing, what we feel it could be doing, your location, your marketing, your staff situation, things to STOP doing, your production, your profitability, your associates and hygienists, your obstacles to success, and what we think needs to happen to get you past them.

Our intent is to charge a fee that you earn back before the end of the first month, and then your increase in cash flow continues and grows from there every month thereafter.

You then can implement the ideas yourself or hire us to help.

The information we provide should be viewed as an investment not an expense, as you will earn back far more than you ever pay us.

We can help you in various ways as indicated below. All daily rates contemplate an 8 hour day and are quoted in US funds.

Total Office Analysis by Dr. Dave via internet, detailed questionnaire and selected telephone interviews: $3800. This is an off-site analysis.

Over the Shoulder Visit; you come to Dr. Dave’s Office and observe and learn directly how an $8,000,000 office operates; $3800/day

Personal Visit to Your Office to Analyze and make recommendations:
For Dr. Dave $8000/day including travel expenses in Canada and the US. This is a flat fee with no surprises or nickel and diming you for our expenses.

For Dr. Dave’s Office Manager Craig $5000/day including travel expenses in Canada and the US.

Implementation of Analysis Recommendations:
Daily fees are the same as above for Dr. Dave and Craig to help implement changes if desired.

Seminars; To Book Dr. Dave for a Full Day Seminar $10,000 plus expenses. (Limited availability)

Office Automation Services: depends on size of the office, and includes Office Manager Monthly Coaching Calls described above at no additional charge. Our office is highly automated and is one of the reasons we can consult as well as run such a large office. We want to take away all the repetitive tasks that you and your staff hate doing, are fraught with error and take time away from what you should be and could be doing.
