Building Doctor to Doctor Relationships During Practice Acquisition and Associateship Agreements
Welcome to a different kind of practice consultant
Practice transitions and associateships are stressful relationships that are fraught with failure. One of the obstacles to clear communication is that both doctors are not clear on their core priorities and how to communicate these priorities in the negotiation process.
My focus is on determining the priorities of both dentists and opening a dialogue about these core values.
Most practice sales focus primarily on the exchange of money. This can leave a seller feeling less valued for their legacy of goodwill and the buyer feeling like the shadow of the exiting dentist leaves no room for their vision.
In the average dental practice sale, the buyer and seller do not communicate beyond the agreement. The average associateship fails to renew the contract after the first year. Let’s face it, most dentist to dentist relationships in these situations become contentious.
I can help you navigate these conversations for mutual benefit. This can lead to better patient and staff retention and loyalty. Fostering greater profits and less stress for the purchasing dentist, as well as greater peace of mind for the selling doctor.
My unique program is designed to help you define your priorities, your vision and your communication.
Testimonials
“I am so grateful to Dr. Bollermann for helping me get really clear on my priorities before I sat down with potential buyers. Being really clear made it easier for me to ask the right questions. It helped me weed out potential buyers who were not a good fit for my practice philosophy, while opening lines of communication that encouraged the right buyers to see why my practice would benefit them.”
— Dr. Brian G.
“I was hesitant to work with Dr. Bollermann at first. To be honest I was overwhelmed by the cost and trying to fit one more thing in on my schedule. I am so glad I made the choice to work with her. Thanks to Dr. Bollermann I have learned so much from the selling doctor about my new practice that never made it to the practice valuation. From ways to keep staff and patients by knowing their personal stories, to better more efficient systems of practice.. My friends have hired practice consultants to learn what I have learned from the exiting doctor. That alone has saved me thousands of dollars. “
— Dr. Sarah H.
