Dental Services
These are various businesses in the dental industry that I find very helpful. I consider them trusted resources for growing your practice, training your employees, protecting your business and creating a better work environment and more satisfying life. And I don’t get a kickback from any one of them. 🙂
Practice Management and Team Coaching: Fortune Management; they are the only practice management company with individual franchises around the country, so your consultant actually lives in your city. They are the health care licensee for all of Anthony Robbin’s life coaching material, and I have never seen a practice that didn’t grow 20% in the first year working with them. www.fortunemgmt.com
Job Search and Posting: DentalPost gets 60,000 visits a month, so I believe it’s currently the best marketplace to find new team members. www.dentalpost.net.
Dental Insurance Alternatives: The best in-office system I know of, Plan for Health. The patient saves money, you keep the patient and collect more of the fee than you would with insurance. Kind of the point of it all. PlanforHealth.com
Also, there is a new system, Pearly, the latest in this type of application: www.pearlyplan.com
Designer Scrubs: I’m a big believer in nice looking, well-designed scrubs with your practice name on them. You can find great ones at Twice as Nice Uniforms. www.twiceasniceuniforms.com
Billing Services: eAssist is the best company for this, in my opinion. Outsourcing this will get your money faster and more of it. www.dentalbilling.com
Human Resources, Employee Management, Payroll: HR for Health has an amazing service that will keep you in compliance and solve a whole lot of your day to day headaches and challenges being a small business.
Front Desk Coaching: The Gold Measure, Miles Global, TCB Dental Consulting.
Dental Embezzlement Issues: Nobody likes to think about this, but it happens a lot more than it should. David Harris with Prosperident knows how to detect what is occurring, and help you deal with it from a legal and practical standpoint. If you suspect your money is disappearing, I suggest you get ahold of him. www.prosperident.com
Team Training and Coaching: Gary Takacs and his Takacs Learning Center is a comprehensive and very personal coaching service. It includes The Thriving Dentist, which are podcasts interviewing the top experts in the industry. www.takacslearningcenter.com.
Dental Insurance Fee Schedule Renegotiation: One of the easiest ways to increase your gross revenue is to check to make sure that your reimbursements are the most they can be. Apex Reimbursement can help you with that. www.apexreimbursement.com.
Demographics and Location Planning: REALscore combines world-class technology, demographics, market analysis, patient location analysis, mapping and data to provide cutting-edge reports and consulting services to dentists and dental advisors. These resources assist in making crucial location, office and strategic business decisions. www.realscore.com.

Fred –
I am a CPA that has over 300 dentists as clients. If i wanted to give them each a copy of your book, could i get a discount? I think the advice would be invaluable for them, start-ups and mature practices alike. The one question they all have in common is “What do i do for marketing?”.
Hi Robert,
Contact Kim Fuller at kfuller@futuredontics.com, and she can arrange books at $10 apiece. I’ll alert her to expect your email. Thanks very much–I think your clients will really appreciate the gift!
Hi Fred, I am listening to the Podcast you had on the show with Gary Takacs and you both mentioned we can use a promotional code to obtain a copy of your book for $10. Is the offer still available? Thank you so much!
Yes. Use the discount code FREDJOYAL and books are $10 shipped. Enjoy!
Hi Fred, I am seeking a speaker for the 2016 winter meeting of the Atlantic Coast District Dental Association. The meeting is held in Palm Beach, Florida during February or March 2016.
As incoming President, I want a dynamic and informative speaker so of course I thought of you. Please contact me to discuss details: drglerum@smilesbyglerum.com, or: 561-271-6355.
By the way, we met at TBSE 2013 and took pictures with my team!
Thank you, Karen Glerum, DDS
Hi Fred, Can I get rid of all my own marketing and rely on you and your products to successfully run my Dental Practice surrounded by small towns (together 80,000 population) ?
Maybe. Call our main line, 800-222-5882 and someone smarter than me can talk you through the possibilities!
Hey Fred, Love your books! Do you have a sample of the patient video testimonial waiver? Thought you said you did in the book.
I don’t, because it varies a bit from state to state. If you contact HRforHealth, they are a great practice compliance software and can help you with this. Tell them I sent you, and they’ll give you the right form.
Hey Fred, great list of resources! I am wondering if you have any resources on improving patient billing and financing?
I don’t, but I know they exist.
Hi Muriel,
I just remembered I know a really good company, eAssist, which you can find at http://www.dentalbilling.com. I know the owner. She’s terrific. Check them out!
