Past Success & Testimonials

Dr. Frank Rho Success Story

Dr. Frank Rho was an associate in a general dentistry office before attending the first Breakaway Practice Seminar in Tampa, Florida in 2007. He is a prime example of what is possible with the right knowledge, implementation of the right systems, and a great work ethic. After working hard to open his dental practice from scratch, using many of the Breakaway Practice systems and ideas, Dr. Rho is now achieving a level of success that many dentists only dream of. He was kind enough to share some of his initial practice numbers for public viewing (below).

Dr. Rho Startup Practice in Alabama:

• Saved $101,700 in startup costs directly credited to the Breakaway Practice Seminar ideas
• 2nd month open, saw 120 new patients and produced $74K
• 3rd month open, produced $100K

Numerous other Breakaway dentists have attained similar numbers, and some have surpassed these. However, none of this success comes easily – it requires opening the mind to innovative ideas, hard work, organized implementation, and persistence. Dr. Frank Rho and the many other hardworking Breakaway dentists are very deserving of their success and have become inspirations to others. We are grateful and proud to have been a part of their journey.

Testimonials

“The seminar was FANTASTIC... Chock-full of valuable information! It was not only helpful for those who are working on startups, but also for those who are moving or expanding their practices, like myself. In just one week, we've put together a system of checks and balances with insurance verification, personal notes, what we're doing for the patient, what we can do for the patient to maximize their insurance, and even post-op calls that are making the practice run more efficiently. The post-op calls are really a big practice builder.—We did them before, but now with the system, they are made routinely without any, ‘Did you make the call to so-and-so?’... Just be forewarned that there is so much info in the seminar that your head will be spinning by 5pm!”

“Scott puts on one seriously intense and info-packed seminar. How he managed to cram all of the info into just one day, I don't quite know, but he did. There’s so much work to do now that I’m back at the office and so much to get my staff involved in doing, but what a huge difference this seminar is going to make in both my current practice and the one to be built... Even more savings on equipment and supplies, more organization, simplified systems, better accountability for staff and myself. THANK YOU!”

“For those who are considering attending a Breakaway Practice Seminar, just do it – especially if you are about to remodel, build a new office, or start up. The ideas I came home with are topnotch, practical, easy to implement, and rock solid.”

“Awesome seminar, Scott. My head was spinning by the end of the day, and I mean that in a good way. The seminar was info-packed, and I'm going to spend the rest of the week going over everything. I was beginning to consider buying an existing practice as opposed to starting one, but now I'm strongly considering the startup again. Thanks for everything!”

“It was a great meeting... The seminar is packed full of pearls of wisdom, and anyone looking for some valuable tips on how to do a successful startup should attend. You will learn many ways to cut costs and trim unnecessary fat from your practice, and you’ll be better prepared to start your own practice on the right foot and avoid many of the pitfalls taught to us by other ‘experts’ and supply companies. Scott's formula has worked and continues to work and if I could do things over again, I would attend Scott's seminar in the beginning and also start with Sandy Pardue and Classic Practice. A good, solid foundation of low costs and excellent systems cannot fail, and the extra money saved on startup costs can be put towards consulting and other things that will return dividends.”

“I've already given my assistants the job of completing our procedure standardization, and our goal will be to finish that by the end of next week. Then we'll be ready to make our scheduling templates with doctor/assistant time and start fixing our scheduling problems! My staff already LOVES the financial agreement form after just a brief look, and they can't wait to start saving time on the phone with insurance, upset patients, collections problems, etc. It’s simple, really, and easy to see how effective it will all be.”

“Just landed back in London and wanted to share what an amazing course Scott put on! It was, in my opinion, probably the best single course for content and delivery that I have taken. We got a handout that was so thick and comprehensive, I was stunned – it covered everything! The value of the knowledge easily paid for the trip and more, and I’d like to do a full quantification once my business is set up... I want to thank Scott and his team for being so hospitable and letting me visit the practice the day before the seminar. Now I am busy thinking about how to utilize all of the information to the fullest within the small window of time that I have before opening my own place. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is thinking about opening a dental practice, and I will definitely be returning to San Antonio for more learning and also Texan girls who love British accents. :) Aalok”

“I am almost hesitant to brag on Scott anymore because I think everyone who comes in contact with him realizes how special he is. This was my second Breakaway seminar after attending the first course Scott and Ryan Swain put on together a couple of years ago. Like always, Scott's information was powerful. I went hoping that systems and staff training information had been added, and I got exactly what I was looking for! If people keep an open mind, they’ll realize that Scott’s information can apply to almost any vision. I sometimes fear that Scott is expanding so quickly that it scares away some people who just want the solo fee-for-service practice, but hopefully not too many because they’d be missing out on a great opportunity to implement Scott’s ideas into any practice philosophy... Like I’ve stated before, Scott has been the single most influential person on my young dental career and probably doesn't even realize it. My goal is to be another success story that he can post about – he deserves the recognition! - Kyle Todd”

“My wife and I had a great time at the seminar this past weekend. Although I opened my dental practice from scratch almost five years ago, I still took a ton of useful information home with me.  It is definitely worth the time and money to hear Scott lecture, and I would highly recommend his seminar to anyone who is considering starting from scratch, remodeling, or even dentists like me who want to get over that plateau of being an ‘average office.’ Congratulations on presenting a terrific seminar, Scott. Feel free to use me as a reference.”

“My wife and I just got back from San Antonio last night, and our heads are spinning. I thought we had given our startup practice some serious thought, but with Scott’s insight we are miles ahead of where we were before. Scott’s systems are brilliant, and I think lenders should make this course mandatory for their startup practices (or at least seriously recommended). My (non-dental minded) wife was amazed and said that she couldn’t imagine any other seminar with better ROI. This weekend saved us thousands in equipment and improvements – I’m just going to have a hard time doing away with my overhead light! LOL, I’ll keep an open mind. Thanks!”

“First of all, hats off to you and Ryan for putting on a great seminar. I came away from it energized and ready to get my new office up and running!”

“Dr. Leune,

“I don't know if you realize how motivational, practical, and diverse your presentation is. I would like to share with you how profound your seminar was for me...

“My husband, Robert, and I opened our printing business four months ago. With Robert being the one who knows printing and paper inside out, he needed to be the one there during operating hours. This called for him to retire (of course no bene's till 65) from a job he'd held for 21 years, with $90K+ annually, full family benefits, and solid income security... Robert and I have an 18-year-old daughter who just entered a private university ($$$), and a 16-year-old son ($$). Think: mortgage, four car insurance policies, college tuition, yada yada yada... And off we go!

“I returned home Sunday after your seminar and shared with my husband. We were up late talking, and then we began Monday morning with a staff meeting. In the past three days, we've implemented some changes I learned at your seminar, issued some challenges (mostly to ourselves), and we have been amazed at the results we are experiencing already with our business and on personal levels!—There has been a domino effect that I could go on and on about, but I just wanted to thank you and share perhaps a new perspective of your gift.”

“Thanks for your great presentation today! What an amazing achievement you have created, and I am sure you will go from strength to strength. Having grown from $4.5M in fees in three centres in 2003 to over $60M in 22 centres in 2008, we have managed meteoric rise as well. Thanks heaps, and I hope you and your family enjoyed Sydney.”

“The group was very impressed with your talk, and we all took something home from it. It was very timely for me, as I am about to build a new practice and I think you just saved me about $200K... I think Alex was particularly impressed, too, since he has about 18 offices and is thinking about how much money he could save!”

“Well, today was the course and it sure was a day chock-full of information! These guys really didn't hold back, trying to fit as much as they could into our time... Lots of great info, handouts, and other materials to take home and start implementing. Seriously, it was a great day and well worth the trip.”

“I absolutely loved the course and learned a ton!! I would love to hear how the other attendees do as they go out and implement the info that was given to us, so please keep us all posted... I would encourage anyone who is about to venture out on their own to take this course! The amount of info that is shared is staggering, not only in quantity but quality, too.”
