Why are so many dentists considering hiring a dental coach these days? The answer: How much dental management training or expertise did you receive in your 4 years at dental school? Thousands of dentists have told us that it was virtually a non-existent subject other than a talk by an accountant and by a lawyer.
So you graduate as a dentist and usually associate for a while to get some experience and some income going to start paying down student loans. You observe how the owner of the practice is managing (or not) the practice and sometimes make vows to yourself, like “I’m never doing THAT when I have my own practice.”
Then there comes the day you make the leap and buy or start a practice, either solo or with a partner. At first, you may feel completely overwhelmed with all the minutiae that you need to learn and know in order to run your staff. You can feel a little (or a lot) confused by the details of insurances and source deductions and the financial requirements.
What can a dental coach help you with? Here are some of the things we help our clients with as their coach/consultant:
An ideal dental coach would give you executive training so that you do not need coaching or consulting in the future as you would now be a fully trained CEO and in control of your practice. This is what our team does because it just makes sense to become your own expert in the management of your own dental office.
