When I first opened my orthodontic practice, I thought I had everything I needed: the degree, the skills, and the drive. But I quickly learned that fixing smiles and running a business are two very different things.
The truth is, orthodontic school teaches you how to treat patients — not how to grow a team, handle the numbers, or build a steady stream of new clients. I struggled. I stayed late. I wore too many hats. And like many others, I began to feel burned out.
That's when I decided to take a different path — and it changed everything.
Now, as a full-time Orthodontic Consultant and Practice Growth Coach, I help orthodontists just like you take control of their practices. I help you fix the systems, build the team, and set the direction — so you can grow without burning out.
What Is Orthodontic Consulting?
Orthodontic Consulting is personal, hands-on guidance for the business side of your practice. You don't need more stress or guesswork — you need a proven plan that works in real life.
- As your coach, I help you:
- Build clear systems
- Strengthen your team
- Improve patient experience
- Increase new starts
- Grow profit with less stress
Every office is different, so I don't use a cookie-cutter approach. I listen, I observe, and I build a plan around what you actually need — not just what's trendy.
How I Help Orthodontic Practices Succeed
Here are the three biggest areas I focus on as a Practice Growth Coach:
1. Systems That Keep You On Track
Without clear systems, your team ends up guessing, rushing, or missing steps. I help you build strong workflows — from scheduling and case acceptance to billing and follow-up. These systems save time, reduce mistakes, and create a better experience for your team and your patients.
2. Team Coaching That Works
Your staff can either lift your practice up or slow it down. I teach you how to train, lead, and inspire your team. We work on communication, accountability, and job clarity so that everyone knows what to do — and feels good doing it.
3. Practice Growth Without Gimmicks
You don't need to chase every new marketing trend. I help you focus on what actually works: strong patient reviews, referral systems, and local outreach. We grow your presence in your community, so patients find you and trust you — before they even walk in the door.
A Real Story That Might Sound Familiar
One of my clients had been in practice for 12 years. She was a great orthodontist, but her office was always in a rush. The team was burned out. Case acceptance was dropping. She felt stuck.
We spent 60 days rebuilding her front office system, adjusting her new patient process, and creating simple checklists for each role. The result? More starts. Happier staff. And for the first time in years, she had time to breathe.
Why I Do This Work
I've been where you are. I've felt the pressure. I've made the mistakes. And I know how lonely it can feel when things aren't working the way they should.
But I also know this: with the right support, you can run a strong, healthy, and growing practice — and enjoy the journey again.
