Sound Familiar?
Why is running a dental practice so stressful?
1
The schedule falls apart before 9 AM.
Cancellations, no-shows, and a front desk scrambling to refill chairs.
2
Another team member gives notice.
Third one this year. Training starts over, and so does the stress.
3
Patients say “I’ll think about it.”
They needed the treatment. They walk out, and they don’t come back.
4
Production is up. Profit isn’t.
You’re busier than ever and still sweating payroll at the end of the month.
5
You’re the last one to leave. Every night.
The practice runs you, instead of the other way around.
6
Working harder buys the same results.
More days in the chair, more stress at home, same numbers.
Ultimately, the stress and problems come from not knowing.
When you don’t know why something is happening or what to do about it, that’s when it becomes stressful. It’s not your clinical skills, and it’s not your team. Nobody taught you how to run a business.
It’s Not the Dentistry
Your stress is not coming from clinical problems.
You know how to do dentistry. If a clinical problem presents with a patient, you fix it. There is no stress, because you know what to do about it.
You were trained on it in dental school and worked hard to become a great clinician. That is not where your problems come from.
But you weren’t equally trained on how to run the business side of a dental practice. And so, this is where the vast majority of problems arise.
This is why MGE exists.
The MGE Power Program
MGE is like a business school for dentists.
If you were to hire a consultant to come into your office, they may help in the short term, but you still wouldn’t know. So after they leave, you eventually run into the same problems again and can’t solve them.
MGE is different. We believe that the only way to truly guarantee long-term growth and stability is for the doctor to become a knowledgeable and highly competent business owner, and for the Office Manager to be a well-trained executive running the day-to-day operations.
Your clinical skills are already high. What we do is bring your business skills up closer to that, and then you really become unstoppable. Watch how it works:
Five Areas That Change Everything
What We Teach You
The MGE Power Program is a unique blend of specialized education techniques and one-on-one coaching to give you the knowledge, skills, and organizational structure you need to get maximum results quickly. Available in person or online. Some of the key areas we focus on are:
Increasing Production Quickly
Key Business Metrics
Staff & Organization
Profitability
Leadership
Results in the first 90 days
Increasing Production Quickly
A lot of problems can be solved (or at least made easier to solve) when you have some financial breathing room. So the first thing we do is identify the things you can do immediately to increase patient flow and case acceptance, so you get your revenues up and help more patients get healthy.

Know where to look
Key Business Metrics
If you’re not tracking metrics in your practice, then you’re flying blind and won’t know where to look when things go wrong. But in dentistry, “key performance indicators” usually just add up to the dentist staring at a bunch of pretty graphs with no idea what to do about it. These metrics only matter if you know how to interpret them and use the information. Then they become a fantastic diagnostic tool, so we can draw up the right treatment plan to get your practice healthy.

Build the team around you
Staff & Organization
When you have a great team around you, it is very easy to succeed. But even if you have the brightest staff members in the world, they won’t be able to achieve much without good organizational structure, training, and well-defined roles. So we teach you how to find, hire, train, organize, delegate, motivate, and keep great staff.

Growth you actually keep
Profitability
Growth is great, but increases in overall revenues don’t mean much if your profits don’t grow with it. So we focus on managing your finances efficiently and ensuring you take home more and more personal income as you grow.
Yes! I want more info
You set the tone
Leadership
The owner sets the tone for the whole practice, and the success of the practice is largely dependent on their leadership ability. Luckily, leadership skills can be learned. You don’t need to change your personality or find hidden talent. You just need to learn the specific things good leaders do to guide and motivate their teams.

How It Works
Seminars, courses, and one-on-one coaching.
The Power Program is a training program with the curriculum divided between self-paced courses, live events, and one-on-one implementation coaching. The program can be done in person or online.
Live events
Seminars
Live seminars at MGE’s Florida office or by live stream, where the core curriculum is taught.
Self-paced
Courses
Self-paced courses you work through on your own schedule, in person or online.
One-on-one
Coaching
One-on-one implementation coaching with your dedicated Power Client Manager.
What You Get
The support of an entire team, from day one to graduation.
1
Get the support of an entire team of specialists
On the Power Program, you don’t just get the benefit of one expert consultant. You get an entire team of them. Each person you work with specializes in a certain field, so you always get the most knowledgeable advice and guidance for your individual needs.
2
Your dedicated coach
You will also work closely with one dedicated Power Client Manager responsible for keeping an eye on practice metrics, helping you with implementation, and ensuring you are achieving your goals. You can always reach them for questions or help.
3
Tracking statistics
One of the key subjects you will learn is which statistics (metrics) to track and how to use that information. These statistics will give you and us a clear picture of where the practice is headed and which areas to focus on for improvement.
4
Get results quickly, then keep growing until you don’t need us anymore
There is a lot to learn on the Power Program, but you don’t have to wait until you are done to start seeing results. Our team is hands-on in the beginning, helping you get your practice up to where you want it to be quickly. As you progress you become more and more self-sufficient until you don’t need our help at all. (Although of course, you will always be able to reach us if you have questions, at no charge.)
5
Graduating
Graduating the Power Program is not simply a matter of fulfilling time requirements or passing exams. A client must have achieved significant practice growth, good organizational efficiency, and healthy profitability before they graduate. This is how we know we’ve done our job, because our sole focus is helping you achieve your goals.
When you are done, you will receive your certificate at the annual MGE Owner’s Conference Graduation Ceremony. And you are always welcome to come back to review material and get help with anything you need, even long after graduating.

From Us
Don’t Just Take It
From Us
James Burden, DDS & Amy Eveland, OM
Amy Eveland is the regional office manager for Dr. James Burden's practices, which have grown from a single office to four practices plus a call center. She has attended the New Patient Workshop three or four times and brings staff each time. The workshop shaped how the group designs its mailings and websites, tracks outflow every week, trains receptionists to convert marketing calls, and manages outside marketing contractors. Dr. Burden reports that new patients were on a downward trend and are now back where they should be, and that he has less stress with associates and a management team running the business side.
David Shannon, DDS
Dr. David Shannon has practiced for 45 years and bought his current San Fernando Valley office in 2008, just before the recession cut his practice by 60 to 70 percent. When he first spoke with MGE he was collecting about $35,000 a month and considering selling. After the New Patient Workshop, collections went to $75,000 a month within about a year, new patients went from six a month to 52, referrals reached 18 in a single month, Google reviews more than doubled, and he added a hygienist four days a week. At 71 he describes practice as a game he enjoys every day.
Nathan Owens, DMD
Dr. Nathan Owens practices in Pulaski, Tennessee, a town of about 10,000 people. Before the New Patient Workshop his office was doing roughly a million dollars a year on 30-some new patients a month. After implementing what he learned, new patients jumped to 50 to 60 a month, and five years on the practice sees 90 to well over 100 new patients a month, produces over 3 million a year out of 11 operatories with 38 employees, and has added a second location. He now works three days a week and has a staff member running the marketing.
Sumbul Naqvi, DMD
Dr. Sumbul Naqvi practices in the Framingham, Massachusetts area, which she describes as a low-income market that used to bring her mostly state-insurance patients. She has attended the New Patient Workshop every year since 2014 to keep her marketing current. New patients went from 20 to 25 a month, where they sat despite heavy marketing spend, to a high of 72 a month, with more fee-for-service and implant patients. Her team's review program took the office from about 40 Google reviews to over 200, and she now directs her outside marketing vendors herself.
Umar Haque, DDS
Dr. Umar Haque came to the New Patient Workshop skeptical, having been through three other consulting groups. He and his team implemented the workshop material immediately: the month before the workshop was one of the office's worst ever, the month after was its best ever, and production rose 40% the following month. Their review program, social media and a rebuilt website took new patients from three to five a month to around 40 a month in the years since.
Chris Sims, DDS
Dr. Chris Sims and his wife Monica of Hamilton, Ontario took over a small, conservative practice knowing how to do dentistry but not how to run a business: 60-hour weeks, no real control, and eight to ten new patients a month. Told by MGE they could double the practice in 90 days, they didn't believe it, then did it, and have since 4Xed production and collections, now seeing over 100 new patients a month with a team that shares their vision.
Gerardo Mercado, DDS
Dr. Gerardo Mercado of Los Angeles bought his practice but still felt like the associate: staff ran their own areas, nothing progressed, and he had no real control. Through the MGE Power Program's leadership and management training he now walks in as a business owner first and a provider second, and within about a year and a half his practice had more than doubled in both collections and new patients.
Ken Cirka, DMD
Dr. Ken Cirka joined MGE seeing about 10 new patients a month in a downtown Philadelphia high-rise shared with 30 other dentists. After 15 years applying MGE's marketing and management systems, his Center City practice has grown more than 25-fold, averages 137 new patients a month on a marketing budget under 3%, employs 20 full-time staff, and has been named the largest dental practice in Philadelphia, while he has stepped back from day-to-day dentistry.
Arvind Philomin, DDS & Divya Adusumilli, DDS
How did you start out? Arvind: I went to NYU College of Dentistry and graduated in 2002. Right after graduating, I did my residency and then four years of implant training while working as an associate. From there, I opened a few practices with a partner. Divya: I also went to NYU College of Dentistry and graduated in 2006. After…
Dr. Saboad Swarrup
COVID knocked Dr. Swarrup's solid practice off its feet — staff and hygienists lost, patients staying away. The MGE New Patient Workshop 'flipped a switch,' and the Power Program followed with concrete practice-management structure and hiring strategies, revitalizing the practice and growing it 50% in just six months.
Rushi Trivedi & Dr. Shilpa Trivedi
Engineer Rushi Trivedi left a Wall Street career to run the business side of his wife Dr. Shilpa Trivedi's practice, which she'd bought within a year of graduating and was working six days a week to sustain. Through MGE's Power Program they've achieved 8X growth, built two thriving practices, and — most importantly for them — reclaimed time together.
Dr. Wisnuski — Elite Dental (Holland, MI)
With 30 years in practice, Dr. Wisnuski of Holland, Michigan had almost no online presence and averaged 10–15 new patients a month — and assumed that was fine. After the MGE New Patient Workshop he built an organized, trackable marketing presence and tripled new patients within a few months.
Dr. Cyrus
After buying a dead practice and renovating it, Dr. Cyrus and his wife were doing everything themselves — including the cleanings — and coming home exhausted. With MGE's help they built a proper hygiene program, growing from two days of hygiene to ten in two years, and are now applying the same systems to revive a second practice.
Bryant Nguyen, DDS
In this Zoom testimonial, Dr. Bryant Nguyen of Flower Mound, Texas describes life before and after the MGE Power Program: collections have quadrupled and he's now working only three days a week. He explains why he's happy to talk to other doctors about MGE any time he's asked.
Dr. Rich Richmond
After 20 years in practice, Dr. Rich Richmond of New York felt he needed a new way of thinking about marketing and growing his office. Following the MGE New Patient Workshop and work with the MGE marketing system, his practice stays productive while he's down to just two clinical days per week.
Dr. Mark
2018 was the busiest year in Dr. Mark's 11 years of practice — and one of his least enjoyable: chaotic scheduling, capacity issues, and a team unsure how to coordinate a growing office. He shares how MGE training brought organization, defined roles, and ongoing staff training to what had been a chaotic dental office.
Dr. Ryan Deppner — Blue Ash, OH
Dr. Ryan Deppner of Blue Ash, Ohio had a big, successful practice — but collections had plateaued for years and he was burning out in his mid-30s in one of the heaviest PPO practices around. Through the MGE Power Program he added structure and policy, doubled collections, and cut his clinical schedule to three days a week.
Dr. McLeck
Practicing in the highly competitive Arlington, Texas metroplex, Dr. McLeck quadrupled his new patient numbers after the MGE New Patient Workshop. He explains how the MGE marketing system changed both the volume of marketing his office does and the way he thinks about marketing altogether.
Cyrus Allafi, DDS & Sara Saba, DDS
Power Program graduates Dr. Cyrus Allafi and Dr. Sara Saba of Silver Spring, Maryland share how MGE training helped them quadruple their practice while actually working less. They discuss why they took time out of their family life to tell other doctors about the program, unpaid and unscripted, and what changed in the way they run the office.
Dr. Aaron Nop — ABC Family Dentistry (Greeneville, TN)
Dr. Aaron Nop of ABC Family Dentistry in northeast Tennessee spent eight years in military and community-health dentistry before purchasing a practice that was only open two days a week. As an MGE Power Program client, he's grown the practice exponentially over 12 years — and, just as importantly, genuinely enjoys coming to work.
