Frequently Asked Questions

The timeline for results depends on your practice’s starting point and the specific goals we set together. Some practices begin to see improvements in patient retention and operational efficiency within the first few months, while larger goals like increased profitability may take longer. With regular coaching sessions and consistent action, most practices see measurable results within 6-12 months.

Many of my clients see significant improvements in patient bookings, streamlined operations, and higher revenue within a few months of starting coaching. For example, some practices report a 20-40% increase in patient numbers, while others experience better team dynamics and improved work-life balance. Our work together will focus on the results that matter most to your practice.
