Athena Consulting: Dental Practice Solutions
New Practice Start-Up Consulting
"One of the greatest pieces of economic wisdom is to know what you do not know." – John Kenneth Galbraith
You want to start your own practice, but all you learned in dental school was how to do dentistry. Why let a lack of business savvy trap you in a dead-end associateship? With Athena Consulting on your team, you can get a head start on the pack.
You have the skills to perform complex chair-side procedures, but how’s your business savvy?
- Do you know how and where to get financing for your office and equipment? And do you know how much you’ll need?
- Can you choose the best location and market yourself?
- Can you pick the right architect? Contractors? Systems?
- Do you know how many rooms to equip for maximum profitability?
- Can you hire and manage a staff, and make sure they’re productive?
- Do you know what you do not know?
Let Athena Consulting guide you every step of the way. We’ll equip you with the tools for success, helping you control your destiny instead of taking leftovers. We’ll also ensure that your personal and career goals are in perfect harmony, so that by age 50 you’ll be able to exercise “life-choice” options that would normally not be available to you before retirement age.
Each dentist and practice is unique, and we tailor each service to your needs, mapping out a path to success with minimum stress and maximum potential. You’ll have:
- Proper strategic planning, research and education to save you time and money
- Assistance in setting up successful marketing, so you’ll have scheduled patients when you open
- A comprehensive written business plan you can use to secure financing and as your own blueprint
- Guidance on running a business and managing your practice
- Training for your staff, and coaching them to become a true team
- Systems, fee schedules and policies in place
- Monthly monitoring of your practice’s progress
The longer you work as an associate, the more money you’re losing every day by not owning your own practice. A wonderful hot-start practice can be done, but it requires a lot of planning, management, proper capitalization and sound guidance. Contact Athena Consulting today, and let’s get started!
