Often times, dentists and dental specialists struggle with two things.
- Managing the business
- Delivering high quality care
Managing the business often takes over your life especially if proper systems are not implemented. Although systems are great, what makes systems work is the ability to ensure systems are being followed.
Lets face it, dentists and specialists did not go to school to sit there and count pennies or decide who to hire and fire. They went to school to treat patients and help patients smile! Many doctors will struggle with trying to balance all of the managerial duties of the business while trying to do what they really want to which is treat patients. Because there are so many things to manage from an administrative aspect, dentists are now turning more and more to consultants to assist in streamlining these processes. A dental consultant can be very helpful especially if a doctor is looking for growth or looking to improve processes.
There are many things an experienced dental consultant can do for a practice. Some things include the following:
- Increasing Production
- Improving Profitability
- Increase New Patients
- Human Resources
- Efficient Scheduling
- Marketing Plan
- Case Acceptance
Make sure you do your homework! Ask for references. Look for results and accountability. A good dental consultant will not make you sign a long term contract without proven themselves to you. RUN from the 12 month contracts that costs thousands of dollars. A confident dental consultant will not need you to sign a long term contract that puts you more in debt. Their results will help build trust and once that is built, contracts are meaningless! You will realize that without them, you simply could not do what you do best- helping patients smile!!
