At Blue Ridge Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we define success as excellent patient care, quality products and services, strong relationships, and a low stress environment. We began our partnership with Practice Metrix seeking guidance and support to take our practice to the next level. Sean and his team assessed our two-office practice structure, billing and coding protocols, and overhead. Based on their advice, we implemented changes that improved collections, enhanced our already positive team dynamics, and created more structure to the business, allowing us to spend more time with patient care and less time handling business issues. We were on the verge of joining a large corporate entity to achieve these changes, but after a year of working with Sean and his team, we have achieved our goals: stronger relationships with our team and patients, improved collections, and less stress, while retaining ownership of our practice. If we do consider merging with a corporation, we are in a better position to negotiate a much higher purchase price given the increase in our practice value. Corey C. Burgoyne, DMD M.
