Why This Matters for Health Centers

“I needed expertise, credibility, and action to support the dental team at Centro Medico and we got that from the Optimize Practice Alliance team.“ ~Andy Piskoulian, CEO, Centro Medico

For many community health centers, the barrier to serving more dental patients isn’t demand, it’s scheduling + utilization. Many dental programs hover around the national benchmark of 8–13 patient encounters per day per provider. What if your team could move well beyond that, without opening new chairs, hiring staff, or adding workflows? The health centers we work with typically achieve 50%+ patient encounters daily. With your very first call, you get a window into what’s possible and the roadmap to get there. 

The Practice Optimization Process™ (POP™)

POP™ is our proven framework for sustainable growth, a repeatable process that aligns vision, execution, and accountability across your entire organization.
