Some dentists seek out consulting or coaching simply when a practice is in trouble or decline. However, there are also many dentists that use a coach in order to fine-tune their business, customer service, or break through to a new level of productivity, efficiency!

Even the best, no matter what their field, continue to use coaches to help polish their skills, progress beyond their current performance, or introduce new techniques and motivation. This concept is common and very successful in dentistry as well.

Every practice has potential that can be harnessed to not only improve production and collection levels, but enhance the service patients receive, the communication and teamwork in the office, or build upon the day to day systems that are necessary for operating a smooth successful practice.

Clifton & Associates, Inc. is Southern California's premier in-office dental coaching firm exclusively for general & specialty dental practices.
