FAQ

How long do your consulting programs last?

I design each program to accomplish the goals and objectives of my dentist clients.  So it varies. These are the most common programs.  Of course, the longer the program, typically the more permanent the changes.

a.  One full day, per month, for 3 months

b.  One full day, per month, for 6 months

c.  One full day, per month, for 12 months

d.  One day

e.  One project

f.  One system

What does your consulting program cover?

Depends on the doctor’s needs and the needs of the practice. I always first recommend a Comprehensive Practice Evaluation to understand the practice’s culture and needs.  Doctors often see only the symptoms of an underlying problem or problems.  The 12-month program automatically includes this Comprehensive Practice Evaluation which can also be done as a stand-alone service, with no obligation of hiring me as a coach. The shorter programs are usually focused on a particular goal, project, system, or handbook.

How much do your consulting programs cost?

Once again, it depends on the goals of the doctor and the needs of the practice.  I work with every dentist to help make the services they want and need fit their budget.

Do you come by the office or do you consult virtually?

I always feel it is more effective to be on-site and consult with the entire team including the doctors; however, I do offer virtual coaching when the project or program allows.

Can I pay monthly or must I pay a lump sum?

Monthly payments are available.

Can you help me sell my practice?

I can help your practice be more valuable which will reap a higher selling price for you.  I can help your practice be more marketable and attractive to potential buyers.  I am not a broker, so I am unable to handle the actual selling and contracting.  Most brokers/transitional consultants recommend that dentists start working with a Practice Management Coach four or five years before they are ready to sell to get the highest selling price.  Having been through the selling process with my husband’s practice, I understand why.
