AMK Consulting

Dentist-owners end up making hiring, schedule, and supply calls between patients.
Use a simple decision filter in your executive coaching time: write the decision, list the options, then ask what breaks if you do nothing.
Pick the smallest move that stops the break, assign an owner, and put it on the next leadership meeting agenda.
Want the one-page decision framework we use in dental practice coaching?

A dentist-owner told me their “systems project” kept dying in the same spot: nobody owned it, so it lived in their head.
We fixed it by writing the actual front desk and hygiene workflows, assigning one accountable leader per area, and setting a weekly leadership meeting cadence using EOS.
The takeaway for other dentists: stop “working on systems” and start naming an owner, a meeting, and the exact checklist.
Want me to break down your biggest bottleneck and map the first workflow with you?

Owner dentists get stuck answering the same front desk and assistant questions all day.
Set clear roles, then run a short weekly leadership huddle with a written scorecard and a running issues list.
Decisions get made once, documented, and the team stops pinging you for every little call.
Book a free consultation and we’ll map your roles and meeting cadence.

Most dentist-owners keep a vision in their head, then wonder why the team keeps missing it.
In executive coaching, we pull your personal goals onto paper, then turn them into practice priorities with owners, due dates, and simple scorecard targets.
Now your weekly leadership meeting is about decisions, not debates.
Book a free consultation and we will map your first draft together.

Dental practice owners usually feel it first at the front desk and in the assistant handoff.
Pick one messy day and track three things: who decided, who did the work, and where it stalled.
Then document the single workflow that caused the most back-and-forth and assign one owner for it.

Dentist-owners usually hit this midweek: staffing drama, a schedule gap, an upset patient, and suddenly you’re the default fixer.
Weekly executive coaching starts with a quick prep list, then a focused call where we pick the real issue and decide who does what.
Between sessions, you get a simple running decision log and assigned owners, so problems don’t boomerang back to you.
Message me and I’ll show you what a normal coaching week looks like in a real dental schedule.

Front desk hears it all day: “Let me think about it.”
In the operatory, slow down and use plain language: what’s wrong, what happens if you wait, and two clear options.
Then document the goal and the next step in the chart, and hand the patient a written recap before they leave.
Want a simple case acceptance script and workflow your whole team can follow?

Dental practice owners usually hear the headline number and stop reading.
Then the LOI shows earnout rules, equity rollover language, and a job agreement tied to production.
In our DSO sale planning work, we walk through the term sheet line by line, translate the legal wording, and spell out what you’re on the hook for.
Drop “terms” and I’ll send a plain-English checklist to review before you sign.

One path is not better. It is better for you.

Start with risk. Are you willing to trade some control for stability and a partner playbook, or do you want full autonomy with full responsibility?

Then pressure-test leadership capacity. If the practice runs through you, growth and independence will cost more than money.

Finally, write the lifestyle non-negotiables you will not sacrifice.
