What is different about Blatchford Custom Coaching?

We start with the basic philosophy that your life is most important. Our coaching helps you discover your own dreams, desires and values in achieving a fulfilling and meaningful lifestyle. We help you develop a practice congruent with your life. Life, taking left-overs, is practicing without direction.

Many dentists work hard and do not feel that emotional and financial satisfaction. We help you rediscover joy in life and rewards in practicing.

Blatchford Custom Coaching is custom.
For more than 20 years, Blatchford Solutions has been working with doctors just like you as they create the dental practice environment and personal lives they desire. We are excited to provide three different opportunities to get involved with Blatchford Solutions.

Three Levels of Coaching — One Proven Program

You may already know about Blatchford Custom Coaching, a proven program that helps you discover your dreams, desires and values in achieving a fulfilling and meaningful lifestyle as well as a successful practice. But did you know that there are now three distinct levels of coaching to meet your needs and those of your practice? W

hether you have invested 20 years in cultivating your brand, are wondering how to make the most of your new practice, or wish to revive one that struggles, there is a Blatchford Custom Coaching Solution to help you succeed. All you need to do is discover which one is right for you.

For new Doctors, Dr. Blatchford's assistance with practice acquisition is an invaluable benefit in getting started with a practice that will get YOU off to the right start. Dr. Blatchford is your objective advocate for a practice purchase to fit your goals.

Gold Level
Your practice is doing well, but it could be better. A lot better. Maybe you have made a name for yourself in the community and have built a loyal patient base but are striving for a higher net income and better balance in your life. You know you desire something more but can’t seem to attain it. If this sounds like you, Blatchford Solution’s Gold Coaching Program is available to assist and support you in enhancing and improving your systems and presentation skills to obtain the results you seek. Our proven coaching methods encompass all aspects of your practice, including developing a profitable and appreciative patient base and a loyal and motivated team. We will coach you to achieve the practice that you are working toward and deserve.

Platinum Level
You have achieved a high level of practice success… and it shows. Despite all your hard work you are still striving to find balance in your life. You would like more time to enjoy your success rather than feeling trapped on the treadmill of your practice. You want your practice to work for you, not you to be working for your practice. If this sounds too familiar, the Platinum level of Blatchford Custom Coaching was designed just for you. We’ll support you in refining your practice to work smarter, not harder and to help you redefine your goals to ensure that your practice is on the right track for you to reach them. Dr. Blatchford’s personal coaching will guide you on the path to reaching your dreams.

“One of the big benefits are the monthly conference calls led by Bill on a topic and the sharing with other successful dentists of information and support.”
—Dr. Brian Saby, Red Deer, Alberta

Blatchford CONNECTION
Upon graduation from Custom Coaching, CONNECTION has monthly CONNECTION conference calls, monthly phone coaching with Dr. Blatchford, encouraging seminar participation as well as CONNECTION seminars.

Transitions and Associateships

Retire As You Go

"Retire As You Go" is a Blatchford model through the Custom Coaching Program. As one approaches retirement and has a need to continue practicing or enjoys dentistry and people, we can help you design a practice that can continue in your design for years by doing the treatments you enjoy on people you enjoy with staff who see your vision as their own.

See article "Retirement and Partnership Choices."

Current annual demographics indicate there are about 4,000 dental school graduates and 20,000 retiring dentists. Thus, creates different options both for new dentists and retiring dentists. What are your best choices and how can you make that happen?

For the retiring dentist:

•  Hiring an associate to eventually purchase

•  Selling your practice outright

•  Selling half your practice

•  Selling and you become the associate

Retire As You Go Testimonial -
Dr. Barry Turner of Grass Valley, CA
"In my earlier practice years, I used to think the goal was to make enough money to retire from dentistry. After eight years in Bill Blatchford's practice management program, it became more and more fun going to my office. My "retire-as-I-go" program is simple. I work as much as I like and play as much as I like. My financial challenges now involve funding third-world country travel and humanitarian efforts. The happy balance now involves work for money, work for humanity, and play (sailing, climbing, skiing, and running). Very few of my friends—including dentists—have the freedom to work when they want, plan when they want, and to have the income to play when they are not working. Thanks, Bill and Carolyn, for that revolutionary practice evolutionary process."
