 Consulting
Services
Consulting
Dental practices are the most unique small businesses in the
world. The dentist wears the hats of CEO, CFO, production
manager, marketing, production, quality control, and the list
goes on. Is it no wonder that there are many times confusion
or worse in a modern dental practice. I am still in the day to day practice of
dentistry and have met the challenges that are part of our
profession. I offer a different type of relationship in
consulting. It is tailored to each individual to create the
best chance of having meaningful change. Please contact me if
you are interested in discovering your full potential in
dentistry.
Here are some
opportunities and choices that you may consider:
Opportunities and Choices
Your Office:
This consulting
style is very effective for the practitioner that would like
an assessment of their present practice style and is
interested in making changes that will aid in transitioning
their practice to what they envision for the future. This
office visit can be personalized to your individual office
environment and circumstances. The following is a popular
arrangement that has been very successful for other clients.
-
Pre-visit
telephone interviews with the principles to create a plan for
the visit and desired outcome.
-
Arriving on a Wed.
evening and meeting with the dentist, spouse and any others
invited by the dentist.
-
Thurs: Observation
of a typical work day and notes. After hours meeting with
principles at doctors discretion to begin to formulate a plan
of action.
-
Fri: Staff meeting
to formalize action plan, reach agreement and commit to
positive change and implementation.
-
Three follow-up
tele-conferences with doctor and or staff. Also discussion
when and if a follow up visit would be appropriate.
This is only a
general framework for the in office visit. As with all my
client relationships, individualized planning is the key to
the most effective and successful outcomes.
My Office:
You may come and observe my office on a regular practice day.
I have done this for a number of years and my patients are
comfortable with visitors. We can discuss if you want your
main chair side, front desk person, or some other staff person
to attend. Seminole Florida enjoys beautiful weather year
round and we have made arrangements with a small hotel just a
short walk to the beautiful beaches of the gulf coast.
-
Pre-visit
telephone interviews with the principles to create a plan for
the visit and desired outcome.
-
Thursday is a full
practice day 8am- 2pm. I may have stimulated some interest
with those hours. After patient hours, we have the afternoon
to interact, discuss systems, diagnose some cases, etc.
-
Friday morning, we
can continue learn lab techniques, see a patient, or see what
and how you can implement new ideas in your practice.
-
Three follow-up
tele-conferences with doctor and or staff. Also discussion
when and if a follow up visit would be appropriate.
Over my
shoulder:
Some of the most
profound learning can occur when you can witness the new
patient experience with a patient that you provide. Although
more involved, as far as planning and coordination, this
experience creates the fastest path for a curious dentist move
to the next level.
Our office will completely focus on your patient for an entire
day; from comprehensive evaluation, diagnostic work-up,
possible occlusal splint therapy, equilibration, and even
provisionalisation, if appropriate.
Please understand that my main focus is on what you are
looking for and I will work with you to customize and
experience that is meaningful and productive.
Consulting fees will be based on your individualized requests,
and thoroughly discussed before any commitment.
I look forward to answering any questions you have in regards
to the many options that I provide in consulting.
Coaching
The field of coaching has exploded in the past few years and I
can say that I have had an active dental coaching business for
the past seven years. Coaching works well over the phone and
e-mails. Dental cases can be discussed and the uses of digital
photography and Power Point are phenomenal.
Most of my coaching clients become consulting clients,
and it is a great way to start and develop a professional
relationship. |
