The Problem Nobody Talks About
When you bought your practice, 100% of your training became just one-third of your job. Nobody prepared you for the other two-thirds — running a profitable business and leading a high-performing team. You may now be carrying a million dollars or more in debt, working harder than ever, and still not getting ahead.
Insurance reimbursements are shrinking. Costs are rising. Your team is chaotic. Your family rarely sees you. And somewhere along the way, the joy you had for dentistry quietly turned into resentment.
Does this sound familiar? Read moreHow I Help
Master the human side of your practice. Build leaders who lead leaders on your team — and connect with patients in a way that drives case acceptance regardless of insurance, reduces failed appointments, and creates raving fans who refer.
Implement the operational systems, KPIs, and accountability structures that keep your practice running at a high level — whether you're in the building or not. No more chaos. No more drama. Just a team that performs.
Build real, compounding financial momentum. And for those ready to go further — begin building your Un-DSO: a legacy practice or group of practices you own and lead on your own terms, without surrendering independence to a corporate chain.

Client Results
When I started with Liz, I was a Treatment Coordinator. Her coaching transformed my case acceptance, confidence, and patient relationships almost immediately. As I stepped into the Office Manager role, she guided me every step of the way — I never felt alone. The results speak for themselves: in the first three months of this year, our practice produced over $1 million — a 47% increase year over year.

Before working with Liz, I didn't know my fees were nearly 50% below industry averages — or that key systems in my practice simply weren't being followed. Liz performed a comprehensive analysis, helped me go fully out of network, and rebuilt our systems from the ground up. Last year I achieved over 20% growth despite dropping all insurance, including Delta Dental. I'm working less, making more, and genuinely enjoying every day at work again.

I have worked with Liz since 2005 — through my first practice, a relocation, and now as I build my exit strategy. From day one she raised both production and collections, built a team culture that let me work less and enjoy my career again, and helped me hold my own against the DSOs taking over our industry. As I prepare to bring on an associate, she's right there with me. I trust Liz with everything that pertains to my practice. It's comforting knowing she'll be there to the end of my practice years.

I had the pleasure of working with Liz when we brought her in for consulting expertise at my practice. She was wonderful to work with — knowledgeable, effective, and genuinely fun to be around. She helped us implement meaningful changes that made our operations smoother and more profitable. Her expertise speaks for itself, and her personality makes the whole process enjoyable.

Having someone with Liz's experience and knowledge supporting and guiding us gives me tremendous peace of mind. My team and I consider her part of our team — they tell me they're glad she's with us and can see the value she brings every day.
