Summit Dental Partners
From Chaos to Control: Stopping a $200K Annual Bleed
The Challenge
Summit was adding 2-3 locations per year but losing associates faster than they could hire them. Turnover was at 58%, costing $200K annually in recruiting, onboarding, and lost production. The COO was drowning in firefighting.
The Solution
We ran the full diagnostic in week 1, identified gaps in 3 of the 6 Clinical Systems, and installed emergency frameworks in weeks 2-4. By month 3, they had Always-On Hiring and systematic onboarding. By month 6, retention hit 94%.
The Results
In 6 months, Summit transformed from reactive chaos to systematic excellence. Turnover dropped from 58% to 94%, saving $200K+ annually. Associate production increased 28% as new hires ramped faster with the 10-Step Playbook.
"We were losing $200K annually to turnover and underperformance. Dr. Eric J. Roman and Josey diagnosed our gaps in week one, installed emergency systems in weeks 2-4, and by month 6 our associate retention went from 58% to 94%. The ROI was undeniable."
Heritage Dental Group
The $2M Gap: Fixing "Good Enough" Systems at Scale
The Challenge
Heritage had systems, but associates were plateauing at $35K when industry benchmarks suggested $60K was achievable. The CCO knew something was broken but couldn't identify the gaps. It was costing them millions.
The Solution
The diagnostic revealed they had 3 of the 6 Clinical Systems, but missing Clear Expectations, KPIs, and Clinical Leadership. We installed the missing systems enterprise-wide, trained 8 clinical directors, and implemented the 90-Day Rhythm.
The Results
Within 9 months, average associate production jumped from $35K to $58K across 47 associates. The hidden gaps were costing $2M annually, now recovered. Heritage transformed from 'good enough' to systematic excellence.
"We had systems, but associates were still plateauing at $35K when they should've been at $60K. The diagnostic revealed we had 3 of the 6 Clinical Systems, but the gaps were costing us $2M annually. Six months later, we're systematic across all 23 locations."
Pacific Dental Group
Building Right From Day One: First Associate to $40K in 60 Days
The Challenge
Pacific was preparing to hire their first associate but terrified of the horror stories they'd heard. They wanted to build the infrastructure before chaos hit, not after.
The Solution
We installed all 6 Clinical Systems before they hired. Built Clear Expectations, KPIs, Trust-Building Meetings, Training protocols, Always-On Hiring pipeline, and Clinical Leadership framework. When the associate started, the playbook was ready.
The Results
Their first associate hit $28K in month one, $40K in month two, and was fully profitable by month three. No chaos, no surprises, just systematic excellence from day one. They've since scaled to 5 associates using the same framework.
"We built the 6 Clinical Systems before hiring our first associate. When we finally brought her on, she hit $40K in her second month. No chaos, no surprises, just the playbook working exactly as promised."

Foundation Building
We built the 6 Clinical Systems before hiring our first associate. When we finally brought her on, she hit $40K in her second month. No chaos, no surprises, just the playbook working exactly as promised.
I watched my colleagues hire associates and struggle for 18 months. We followed the Foundation Blueprint and our associate was profitable in 90 days. The Recipe + Rhythm framework saved us from the nightmare everyone warned me about.
Systems Design
We were losing $200K annually to turnover and underperformance. Dr. Eric J. Roman and Josey diagnosed our gaps in week one, installed emergency systems in weeks 2-4, and by month 6 our associate retention went from 58% to 94%. The ROI was undeniable.
I was personally managing 8 underperforming associates while trying to scale. The 10-Step Playbook gave me a system that worked without me being the bottleneck. Now my clinical directors run it, and I'm back to strategic work.
Scale + Infrastructure
We had systems, but associates were still plateauing at $35K when they should've been at $60K. The diagnostic revealed we had 3 of the 6 Clinical Systems, but the gaps were costing us $2M annually. Six months later, we're systematic across all 23 locations.
Scaling from 18 to 35 locations exposed every weakness in our associate development. We brought in Dr. Eric J. Roman and Josey to build enterprise infrastructure. The transformation wasn't just operational, it was cultural. Associates now think like owners.
