Why is running a practice so stressful?
Ultimately, the stress and problems come from not knowing.
When you don’t know why something is happening or what to do about it—that’s why it becomes stressful.
Your stress is NOT coming from problems as a provider.
You KNOW how to help a patient with their problems. There is no stress, because you know what to do about it.
You were trained on it in school and worked hard to become a great healthcare professional. That is not where your problems come from.
But you weren’t equally trained on how to run the business side of a practice. And so, this is where the vast majority of problems arise.
This is why AMI exists:

Dr. Aaron Langdon
Through the consulting services of AMI, I have received valuable guidance on diverse areas of practice ownership including managing employees, advertising, hiring, and scheduling, among others.
My production has increased by 50% since starting with AMI, and I wish I had begun this program earlier!
I would recommend AMI to any of my colleagues. I am thankful to the colleagues that told me about AMI – otherwise I would not have heard of them.
Dr. Myles Bokinac
Looking back I would have done the program at AMI immediately upon graduating. It would have made life simpler.
My stress load has decreased drastically; I can now be the doctor and the manager and almost always still leave at 5pm and leave work behind until the next day, something that did not happen before this program. If it did, then something was being neglected.
All of the courses were very helpful to me as the manager of an optometric practice and the knowledge of how to manage an office was priceless to me. Using stats instead of pure gut feeling allows me to micro-dissect my practice at a glance to see where a problem really lies or where a success has come from. Thank you AMI.
Dr. Kent Morley
Before starting to work with AMI, I knew I didn’t have any management training. There were things I couldn’t deal with, primarily in the staffing area. I had no problem with veterinary medicine as this is where I DO have training. I felt like I was driving my head against the wall with staffing issues.
AMI’s training and consulting services gave me management tools for the practice and real life examples on how to handle difficult situations. It was wonderful having a consultant to talk to who is impartial but knowledgeable about your practice.
The profitability of the practice has improved despite closing on Saturdays and a recession. I definitely don’t know what I would have done without AMI.
Dr. Abdul Wehbe
The system of managing by statistics taught by AMI and the software that goes with it is nothing short of amazing. It helped me as the business owner to accurately pinpoint the trouble areas week by week and to make the necessary corrections for smooth sailing.
The consultant I had (Bob) is a business genius. With his help and advice I was able to implement a plan that expedited the growth of the clinic and formulated a successful exit strategy as well.
I now enjoy my work with a lot less stress. My staff tell me that I am a better boss! It also helped my production to go on a steady climb.
I highly recommend this course.
Dr. Vineet Sidhu
I have been a client of AMI for about 17 years. When I first found out about AMI, I was not sure how it would go. However, after doing the courses and the consultancy, I was pleasantly surprised that the results were significantly better than I expected. I would say, I got my money’s worth and several times more.
They have several intelligent methods of management that I have not seen in any other dental office management companies. These methods helped me reduce stress and actually made managing a dental office fun. I would never have thought that that is possible. Their systems and tools are simple to apply and the results are phenomenal, especially in areas of managing staff, emotions and difficult patient situations, as well as practice growth and planning.
Your practice should bring in lots of high-quality new patients, produce plenty of profit, run efficiently, and allow you more free time. And we're here to help you achieve exactly that!
What is a Practice Assessment?
We offer a free Practice Assessment where we do a deep dive into your practice. We ask questions about every area of your practice. At the end of that, we can tell you how much you should be billing approximately. We can also tell you what’s blocking that from being a possibility and what you need to do to fix it and make it happen.
It’s a three-hour session with no obligation. It’s our way of getting to know each other. You will find out whether we would suit you, and we will find out if we can help you. If it’s a match, then it’s a go. If it’s not, we’ve still met each other, and you’re richer for the knowledge that we went over in the meeting.
