Dental Practice Consulting Testimonials

“I started working with JoAnne about 3 years ago. I had just bought out my partner’s half of the practice after he retired and needed some business and practice advice. Immediately, JoAnne helped me with some staffing issues in the office, helping identify a particular member that would be best to let go. Then, we shifted the team to by moving an assistant up to the front to help. She has worked with and provided the front with financial presentations and financial arrangements. She is great at marketing ideas and always coming up with new ways to attract new patients. She is willing to help with graphics and online flyers/emails. We have been tracking specific metrics.  Probably the biggest endorsement I can give JoAnne, is that my practice has grown every year since we started! She is flexible and will focus on whatever aspect of the practice you would like to focus on.”

“JoAnne worked with my team and brought my practice to a level of success I never thought I could achieve.  I have increased production and net collections by over 24%.  Even in these tough times, JoAnne has shown me success is very attainable.”

Paul Fillet, DMD, San Ramon, CA

“I wanted to thank you again for our meeting. I think it went really well and it would not have been anywhere as effective without you. I really believe you are, as I thought you would be, the perfect fit for what our needs were and are at this time, not a cookie cutter consultant. I know how important it is to keep the positive momentum going and continually working to make it better.  Again, thanks for all your help and expertise.”

Anne Becker, DDS, Oakland, CA

“It was great having you as a speaker last week at UCSF. It’s a challenge for most people to keep me awake early on a Saturday morning, but I was soaking up all your information like a sponge.”

“I had the pleasure of witnessing JoAnne in action at the Townie Meeting 2010. Captivating, motivating and packed with useful information that any dental office could use right away. She hits the nail on the head when it comes to improving front desk phone skills and increasing case acceptance. Really good takeaways – an extremely valuable experience for dentists and office staff.”

Fred Joyal, Director of Marketing at 1-800-DENTIST

“I have had the pleasure of sponsoring JoAnne for a few evening workshops.  Wow, what a boost for my referring practices as well as mine!  It was an exciting experience and excellent marketing idea that has proven to be a great practice builder for my office.  Marketing and repeat referrals are crucial.  JoAnne and her workshops present a win/win solution.”

Nicky Hakimi, DDS, MSD, Roseville, California

“We have referred a number of clients to Joanne Tanner for assistance with “due diligence” when contemplating the purchase of a Dental Practice and have been very satisfied with her services.  She also has invaluable knowledge with respect to counseling new owners of dental practices with respect to how to preserve goodwill and move the practice in a positive direction.  Ms. Tanner is also very knowledgeable and skilled in handling staff, especially when the practice needs some assistance to get everyone on the same page and to pursue the same objectives.”

Jennifer Ellis, Attorney at Law, The Goldman Law Firm

“As a new grad JoAnne’s knowledge and experience were essential in guiding me through buying a dental practice.  I would highly recommend her to help anyone looking to perform due diligence on a possible practice purchase.”
