Success Stories

Practices That Made the Leap

"We dropped our first PPO 18 months ago. Our revenue dipped for two months, then surpassed our previous levels. We kept 87% of those patients. I wish we'd done it sooner."

— Dr. Sarah M., General Dentist, Texas

"The PPO calculator was the wake-up call. I was losing $312,000 per year to write-offs. After following the RID roadmap, I've recovered $240,000 of that in the first year."

— Dr. James R., Practice Owner, Ohio
