BOOT CAMP
This program is geared towards front office team members who have minimal dental office experience. Proper training is essential in the success of your new hire’s role within your practice. Many dental practices just do not have the time to properly onboard a new hire. This customized and interactive Boot Camp will teach your new hire the basics of working at the front desk.
The Boot Camp includes 12 hours of intense onboarding sessions customized to your office systems and protocols. The “live” training is provided over a 2-week period. The team member(s) will receive hand-outs and homework for some training.
At the end of Boot Camp, your team member(s) will be able to immediately contribute to the daily activities of your practice. Not only will they have the skills but they’ll perform with new-found confidence!

CUSTOMIZED ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY AND PROCEDURE MANUAL
Every dentist dreams of having a dependable, reliable process in place for team members. You may have some of this already in place, with things written down and taped to the front office computer or on a sticky note.
After a discovery call with our team to determine which systems you already have in place and which systems need to be created, a customized policy and procedure manual will be created in collaboration to cover systems such as daily, weekly, monthly and annual check lists, morning meetings, financial guidelines, scheduling for success, insurance management (from checking benefits to following up on outstanding claims), recare systems, reports and key metrics and much more.
Upon completion of the written manual, a Zoom meeting will be scheduled with the team to implement the Policy and Procedures. You will receive the manual in digital copy so future additions and edits can be made.

Meet Michelle
Michelle knows that her relationships with dentists goes far beyond having knowledge of dental practice management. They require passion, sincerity and an understanding of what drives and hinders the doctor and team.

With a passion for guiding dentists to be great leaders and successful entrepreneurs, her enthusiasm to her clients is evident. She faces challenges head on and has created success story after success story. Michelle has been affectionately dubbed the “Dental Wizard” and once you begin working with her, you’ll understand why!
Dentistry is not Michelle’s only passion, however. She is supported by Phillip and Gracie-her cat and French Bulldog, respectively! When she is not working, she can be found cheering on her daughter Karli at figure skating competitions.

Testimonials
"I was fortunate enough to cross path with Michelle during the conceptual phases of my star up. After each meeting It became apparent that Michelle will be stuck with me for as long as i'm in practise or until she retires. Having someone with her wealth of knowledge to guide me was so reassuring especially while stepping into uncharted terriroty. I'm almost 2 years in and still seeking her guidance. Thank you Michelle, for all you do! I highly recommend partnering with her!”
