Dental Consulltant have/would you hire one?

Question

I have several years of dental assisting and practice management experience. I enjoy the dental field and the job security I have found within it. In several offices I have successfully increased production and collections while assisting the doctors in lowering overhead and decreasing turnover. Making for much happier dentists. I have a business license now for dental consulting. I want to know as a dentist what you would look for the most when hiring a dental consultant. Have you done it? Would you consider it? What would you want from a consultant? Thank you in advance for your time and input!

Answer 1

CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT GRADUATING DENTISTS KNOW VERY LITTLE OR NOTHING ABOUT THE BUSINESS END OF DOING DENTISTRY, A DENTAL CONSULTANT WOULD BE A SOUND BUSINESS CHOICE FOR SOMEONE PLANNING ON HAVING THEIR OWN PRACTICE. THERE ARE SEVERAL VERY GOOD AGENCIES THAT HAVE GOOD REPUTATIONS.

Answer 2

Actually we do have a consultant in our office.

From an assistants standpoint, work with the staff, learning their wants, problems, and concerns. That really helps the dentist get along better with the staff if they know how to talk to him about their problems.

Answer 3

maybe if I was an idiot dentist. I think most dentist like making their own calls about their practices, but hey, I guess a proven track record would be the best thing to show someone. I'd want to see some economic data from previous clients if I were to hire you, and I don't know how many dentist would release all that financial info to you. Good luck.

Answer 4

I am also a consultant in the medical and dental field this may interest you:
