Neil Woods, DDS, Builds Multi-Million Dollar Practice with Consulting Program from Sterling
Glendale, CA (I-Newswire) January 22, 2014 – Dr. Neil Woods of Severna Park, MD, today announced that the dental practice he founded in 1975 reached a highest-ever monthly collections level of $200,000 in 2013 due to the implementation of a customized consulting program from Sterling, a practice management company in Glendale, CA.
“When I first opened my doors, I was excited about getting paid for doing what I love-practicing dentistry,” explains Woods. “Then the stress of managing a practice hit me. I couldn’t control the staff and I couldn’t get patients to accept their treatment plans. Despite hard work, I wasn’t making the money I should have. That is why in 1988, I signed up with Sterling.”
In 2013, Woods also renovated his practice and expanded from seven to nine operatories. Despite the renovations, the number of new patients and production volume also climbed to higher levels during the year.
“I had tried several management groups which caused the practice to go on a ‘seminar high’ and then fall back into its old pattern,” continues Woods. “Dentistry is a precise profession with clinical results. I expected exact management rules that worked every time; I found those rules in Sterling’s program.”
Woods and his consultant organized the practice, trained the staff to be more effective and implemented a marketing plan. Within three months, the practice gross income had tripled.
“I am still a Sterling client today,” adds Woods. “I have a multimillion dollar practice, work a reduced schedule, make more money than I ever imagined and have the freedom to live a fuller life including spending time with my family and helping the community.”
