Dr. Andrew & Dr. Tim
"In our first year, we were able to get over 2,000 new patients. Since eighth grade, we've dreamed of owning our own dental practice. Thanks to Ideal Practices, that dream became reality. We grew from 3 to 9 team members, surpassed a million dollars in collections, expanded from 3 to 6 operatories, and donated over $10,000 to our Give partner. We couldn't have done it without Ideal Practices."
2,000+ patients · $1M+ collections · Year 1Dr. Lindsay
"We hit the ground running, we had no openings the first day. We were filled with patients right from the start. It's something special when you walk into a practice that you have created. I wish I had done it sooner!"
Dr. Ben
"I knew that I had to do it for myself so that I could enact my vision. Ideal Practices was so supportive. They remade my business plan, redid my demographics. Through that process, now I have a practice literally of my dreams. I still like to come into my office when nobody is here and just do a lap and recognize how amazing this is."
$1M produced in first 12 monthsDr. Bryan
"We've been open a little over two months, and we've just exploded out of the gate. 200 patients in two months. I'm serving my community in a profound way. I know you can't do these things on your own. Hiring Ideal Practices, being there for us, they just make sure all your ducks are in a row so you can open your doors knowing you are delivering the very best you possibly could have."
200 patients in 2 monthsDr. Lauren
"Prior to working with Ideal Practices, banks were only willing to loan a certain amount. But working with Steven and Jayme, it was night and day. Banks started talking to us, and gave us money to build this practice."
Dr. Olga
"With the first vision call with Stephen, immediately I felt incredibly mentored in what a good office should be like and how the teams should feel."
Dr. Jordan
Dr. Jordan learned how to create a modern floorplan that is inviting, without looking like a typical practice. See how your floorplan earns respect by standing out.

What Ideal Practices Clients Write About Their Experience
"Before joining Ideal Practices, I was nervous. I was nervous about the whole startup process, the success it may or may not bring. But during our vision call, I remember Stephen mentioning the idea of a trust fall: let us help you make the important decisions and trust us that they will yield the best results for a startup. However, in this situation I told myself that I am going to follow the advice and make the most out of the expertise of this group. My dream was to be able to create an environment where patients felt comfortable and had the best experience at the dental office, while, at the same time, maintaining a successful and profitable business. The result? In 11 months, a beautiful dental office, with patients that have truly fallen in love with everything that Ideal Practices has helped me create. At the same time, the office was profitable from the very first month, and in fact, did better than my long-term full-time profit projection. Most importantly, when I look back at this whole experience, I can say that it has changed my personality for the better. You all have taught me the importance of maintaining relationships, from team members to patients, to family members. It has seriously made me a better person. Joining with Ideal Practices for my startup will forever be etched as one of my best life decisions."
"I've worked alongside Jayme since day one. He's provided numerous services that have allowed me to move into my new facility. He really has our best interest in mind to help us grow. I would highly recommend them to anybody."
"I get asked a lot who I am using to do my startup and if it's worth it. I always respond with 'I am using Ideal Practices. I am a go-getter, sure I could've done it myself, sure I would've been successful, BUT to what extent? They see in me and instill in me things I didn't know about myself.' Most people proceed to ask if the 'hefty price' was worth it. JUST our conversation on marketing ALONE today was way more valuable than any price tag. I am so honored to be one of your success stories!"
"I have told her how amazing you guys have been so far for me and she would love to get more information from you all! She is an outstanding clinician and I think Ideal Practices would be a really good fit."
