Discover the “Fast Results Method” We Used To Double and Triple Our Own Practices' Income

We've owned and managed 17 very successful and high-quality practices, generating over $35 million in collections per year - an average of $2 million/year in collections for each practice and we've helped other practices achieve similar results.
Let us show you how you can create the practice of your dreams and achieve the success you desire.

Why choose us?

Good question. We've owned and managed 17 successful dental practices and consulted over 200, making The Guident Group unique as a practice consulting and training company. For each of our own practices, we took them to $2MM and more every time, without fail. We understand your challenges and how to overcome them successfully because we've done it over and over again, in many different situations  and had success each time we implemented our system.

Our successful system has worked in 200+ practices and counting

We've identified the 10 key ingredients to achieving practice success (and clinical skill is only one of them). You could be the greatest clinician on the planet, but if you don’t know and apply the other 9 ingredients, the practice will struggle.

Our system for integrating these 10 ingredients into our own practices is what resulted in each of them achieving a minimum of $2MM per year in billables. 

We know how to help you create your ideal practice

You've invested a great of time, energy and money into your practice; college and dental school costs, followed by the money you invested in your practice. All told, these costs typically add up to $1.5- $3MM or more.  Investing a small fraction of that amount in order to transform your practice into a highly profitable, stress-free and valuable, productive operation only makes sense, doesn't it?


WE ZERO IN ON WHAT YOUR PRACTICE NEEDS

(WE IDENTIFY THE PRACTICE’S STRONG AND WEAK POINTS, THEN WORK WITH YOU ON THE IMMEDIATE AND MOST IMPORTANT PRIORITY THAT WILL TAKE YOUR PRACTICE TO A HIGHER LEVEL QUICKLY)

Over the years of running successful dental practices, we developed a powerful yet simple system that made each of our own practices the success they became. We have used that same system to help other dental practices achieve similar successes to our own. 

Everything starts with our practice analysis, and from that we zero in on the first thing to fix that will make the  biggest impact for improving the health of the practice.

Joe Kerner tripled my practice in 2 years. He is an expert in leadership, management and growing businesses. He also inspired and motivated my team to perform and produce far beyond the average. My own personal income was much higher as a result of Joe's work with us, and I actually worked less and had less stress. I give Joe Kerner my strongest recommendation for any business owner or executive who wants to improve his or her business or team.

Joe Kerner increased my personal income by 50%, while working less.


He also cut the stress and headaches to near zero, working with the staff to make them more efficient and productive.

Miller Lewis, DDS

CHRISTIANSBURG, VA

Joe came in and really got to know my staff. He listened to us and saw what we needed help with most, then he rolled up his sleeves and implemented a tried and true system that he has used for 20 years when he managed a regional network of 17 offices. Today I have a staff that I only have dreamed of in the past. My workload and stress is a fraction of what it was before, my office and personal income have increased and we have expanded from one to three offices (which has been a long-delayed goal of ours). I honestly have just one regret with Joe. Where was he 20 years ago?

Case Studies

Our own 17 practices all achieved over $2 million in billings per office before we sold them, with the only difference being how long it took to achieve those numbers.  Does our system work with other offices?  Here are 3 case studies from some of the hundreds of practices we've helped -
If you'd like to see more case studies, click the link at the end of this section:

Case Study 1: Increased income 150% in the first year and 50% in year 2!

When we started working with Dr. H, she was producing $400,000 per year. The first step was to evaluate the practice and identify the #1 area that would result in the most immediate results for her.  In this case it was to work with her on more effective ways to present her Tx plans, and getting higher case acceptance. Concurrently, we worked with the scheduler to make the daily schedule more productive. Results? Production doubled after 3 months.  Next we put together a marketing campaign, which kicked off in the fourth month. Results? New patients doubled over the next few months, then doubled again. By the end of the first year her production was over $1 million per year, then increased another 50% in year 2.

Case Study 2: Production doubled from 1MM to 2MM within a year.

We started working with a clinically excellent doctor who was producing $1 million per year. As we do will all practices, the first step was our thorough practice evaluation to identify the #1 area to fix for results. In this case, there were many things that were working.  The problem was the doctor's communication skills.  While clinically excellent, his communication skills didn’t match and his case presentations were dentistry 101 lectures. We worked with him to present his treatment in ways that were more understandable and accepting by patients with the result, his production went to $2 Million per year within 1 year.

Case Study 3: Stopped 90% of PPO participation, increased income 66%

Our group took over a practice from a doctor who retired. We had done our usual evaluation and identified there was good potential to grow the practice substantially. The practice was producing $1.9 Million but collecting only $1.2 Million per year. This practice was heavily dependent on insurance and participated with every PPO, so there were heavy write-offs and adjustments. There were a high number of patients seen every day and a healthy number of new patients. The practice was actually under-producing, seeing lots of patients but with a small amount of treatment per patient. The new doctor and I worked on treatment planning all patients, and communicating with them more deeply than they were used to with the previous doctor. We also stopped participating with 90% of PPOs and communicated why to our patients. Production and income climbed immediately, and by the end of 6 months was producing and COLLECTING $1.6 Million - with fewer patients, less stress and more clinical satisfaction for the dentist. We lost only 15% of our patient base, but replaced them with people who wanted high-end dentistry and were less interested in insurance coverage. By the end of 18 months after implementing all the steps of our practice system, the practice was producing and collecting $2 Million with zero stress, and operating as a well-oiled machine.
