Kimberly Masters's Company Details

Dental Management Advisors (or DMACares) helps you get back to the life you dreamed of when you first started practicing.Even with front and back office staff, a lot still falls to you, as the owner of the practice. Managing the ‘store', so to speak, handling human resources issues, dealing with customer complaints that have escalated. And, of course, treating people.You became a dentist to treat people, to help them, and it sometimes feels as though the energy that you felt for the work in the early days is starting to peter out. You're feeling burnt out, running in all directions.Perhaps it's time to sit back and take stock. If you can do this from a beach with an umbrella drink in your hand, or on the back nine of a gorgeous golf course, more's the better but regardless of how you stop and review, if you're feeling as I described above, it's time to stop and take a look at how you're doing business.Ultimately, your dental practice is a highly skills based enterprise but dentistry is still a business. You have competition, marketing needs, human resources issues, financial / budgetary considerations, and the like. These can quickly become overwhelming if not handled.Typically, a dental practice will have several areas where time is being ill-spent, which can be alleviated with the right processes and systems in place, allowing you to free up some of your time to do the work that you would prefer to be doing anyway.Staffing your practice, keeping up to date with current labor laws, ensuring that there are standards in place for inter-staff engagement, training and certification are all issues that you need to keep control of.For the lack of adequate systems for managing patient information quickly and securely, many practices lose a lot of time that could be spent more efficiently on servicing the customer. A system that in itself becomes overwhelming because of the way it has to be managed is not a system: it's controlled chaos, which is bad for business.You need to do the work that you enjoy and that capitalizes on your skills and education. In other words, do what you do best. You don't need to be bogged down in marketing plans and management conundrums. Let others do that.
