Dental Consulting Experts, The Ledbetter Group -

David Metzdorf

Year 2022 proved to be a year of ongoing challenges with declining insurance reimbursements, increasing staff expenses and limited scheduling. My practice was successful with a full schedule, but I was not seeing the monetary gains that I expected. With 2023 around the corner, I decided I needed to make a change and bring in a consultant. I met with Russ to discuss my challenges and what my expectations were from him. His confident approach helped me make changes within my practice that have resulted in bottom line financial gains. My practice was not in need of an overhaul. I needed a different perspective and someone like Russ who could show me how to make those changes to see those financial gains. Russ delivered on that promise. I would recommend him to any business looking to increase their bottom-line profits.

The Ledbetter Group has been an answer to prayer. When I finally reached out for help, I was at my breaking point. The office was busy, but not the kind of busy that leaves you feeling fulfilled at the end of the day. Most days I felt like I had been running around with my hair on fire. Russ and Cynthia have made such a positive impact on the day-to-day operations. The staff have a better understanding of the schedule and are working much more cohesively. My main concern about hiring a consultant was a “cookie cutter” approach to how to run a practice. Russ and Cynthia take the time to get to know you and your office. They develop systems that improve productivity and morale but work within the confines of your personal goals for your practice. Nothing is “one size fits all”. Their guidance has us working smarter not harder and the numbers are better! More importantly, the stress level is improving! Any change can be hard, even when you know it is necessary. Weekly calls keep you on track and prevent falling back into old habits. The Ledbetter Group is an investment in your practice and your life.

I wish I'd hired The Ledbetter group sooner! Russ has helped us make improvements that will change the course of my career. The increased cash flow is huge - we're expanding to a bigger building, purchasing needed equipment, and paying bigger bonuses. A lot of positivity around the office! Thanks Russ!

I sought the help of The Ledbetter Group to help manage the chaotic schedule I was encountering at the office. My main goal was to create a consistent, low-stress daily schedule. With the expertise Russ provided, we not only developed a systematic way to maximize our time and effort, we simultaneously increased revenue while providing a rewarding system for my team!

I cannot say enough about our experience with The Ledbetter Group. After 29 years of apparent success I contacted Russ to help us grow the practice as we were starting to experience a slowing of growth. Russ and his team provided the guidance my team needed to schedule more efficiently, motivate my team to be more productive and to attract more new high quality patients. We have seen well over a 20% increase in collections most months. I would recommend The Ledbetter Group to any dentist regardless of their career stage.

I am very pleased I contracted with The Ledbetter Group for my practice. Russ and his team brought everyone on board working toward the same goals, and my staff is much more of a team. Our front office is more efficient, our hygiene is more efficient, and I, as the doctor, am more efficient. This efficiency helps my stress level stay low while increasing my production at the same time. I was able to "Work Smarter and Not Harder" to increase the production. I would recommend The Ledbetter Group to any dentist looking to increase production, new patients, and wanting to maintain a balanced work environment.

Russ is a great coach not only in the practice but also in some personal areas. He can be compared to the great Paul "Bear" Bryant with his head coaching and his assistant Ginny coming in motivating the team.

Our experience with The Ledbetter Group has been nothing but the best. We were experiencing very slow growth, and I wanted to get the staff more involved in the dental practice. Russ and his group came in and energized our practice with systems that guaranteed results and a bonus system that has stood the test of time, five years. As a practice owner, I spoke directly to Russ and never was it a problem to get in touch with him. His dental business knowledge benefited our practice and more importantly our patients.

Hiring Russ and his team (The Ledbetter Group) was not only my best business and career decision ever but also by far the best investment of my life. I have never bought any piece of equipment or attended any seminar where I had a 1700% return (over $513,000) within 1 year. Although the numbers speak for themselves, Russ’ overall impact on my life was even more valuable. My only regret is that I waited 8 ½ years to decide I needed a “coach” – someone to teach me what dental school did not! Thanks for everything.
