  “I brought The Ledbetter Group into my office in 2002 when the economy went south and my practice production fell tremendously. With his guidance, we rebounded the following year with an $180,000 dollar increase in gross production. We are still using his core principles today because they work. Thanks Russ.” www.scarbroughfamilydds.com

  Russ, “Thank you for helping all of us grow exponentially. Little did I know in 2001 I would be faced with the full responsibility of a two doctor practice. At that time my father would need to take an unexpected leave for medical reasons. Russ and Ginny were able to guide me through this difficult time. We not only maintained the production both doctors used to do, but to my amazement still increased our production and profitability with very low stress. I highly recommend The Ledbetter Group to those who are looking for positive change in their practice and personal lives.” www.kimpittsdds.com

  Dr. Tim Needham (Creighton University 1992)

  "When I opened my own practice in 1998 I had experience in dentistry, but not management. I had both experienced employees in the front office and in the clinical area and felt that with their help we could effectively run the practice. After about two years of struggling, it was obvious that something was not working. That was when I was approached by Russ Ledbetter regarding his consulting services. We decided that we had nothing to lose since he guaranteed we would make back his consulting fee by between 500 to 900% in increased production if we followed his program. Implementation was difficult at first, since in general, employees do not like change. However, we stood our ground as owners of the practice and things began turning around quickly. A combination of improved customer service, improved office atmosphere, improved scheduling and most importantly improved management and practice measurement allowed us to become a profitable business. Thanks Russ!" www.eclecticfamilydentalcare.net

  Dr. Terry Burgess (University of Tennessee Dental School 1988)

  “I would like to personally recommend the services of Russ Ledbetter. I feel that my clinical training was excellent, however, I was unprepared for running a business and managing a staff. I struggled for 10 plus years trying to acquire these skills and find the answers to personal satisfaction in my practice. I realized that I did not have all the answers and paid for the advice of three practice consultants. I spent an embarrassing amount of money for little or no results. The problem was that their cookie cutter systems did not fit my practice. I finally, upon the recommendation of a colleague, talked to Russ and enlisted his services. I can truly say that this was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my practice, my family life, and my general well being. Russ opened my eyes to the possibilities of my practice, gave me direction and support, and showed me weakness in myself that were limiting my practice. I looked upon Russ as a coach that was genuinely interested in my success and me. Russ has given my staff and me an enjoyment of work because our professional and personal goals can be achieved. Using a consultant is a difficult decision that should take considerable thought and prayer. I cannot express how thankful and blessed I am for taking that step of faith and hiring Russ. I would hire Russ again and strongly recommend him to any colleague that is seeking answers to the hurdles that are blocking growth and satisfaction in your practice.” www.dentalcaremadison.com

  "Hiring Russ and his team (The Ledbetter Group) was not only my best business and career decision ever but also by far the best investment of my life. I have never bought any piece of equipment or attended any seminar where I had a 1700% return (over $513,000) within 1 year. Although the numbers speak for themselves, Russ’ overall impact on my life was even more valuable. My only regret is that I waited 8 ½ years to decide I needed a “coach” – someone to teach me what dental school did not! Thanks for everything." www.swordsfamilydentalcare.com

  “The Ledbetter Group promised a $10,000 per month increase. They far exceeded that, increasing my practice by 45% while working fewer days! Meeting goals, stress reduction, teamwork and a shorter work calendar are all things my office has been able to accomplish since working with them. I heartily recommend them to help your dental practice.” www.midtowndentalcare.com

  "The Ledbetter Group proved to be a key part of a true “turning point” in the productivity of my practice. Making recommendations based on a practice analysis, they exceeded every expectation I had, while remaining sensitive to my wishes and personal goals. Using the principles The Ledbetter Group implemented, my practice has continued to grow. I heartily recommend their services to anyone looking to increase productivity and satisfaction in their professional lives." www.burchamdentalarts.com

  “I began working with The Ledbetter Group a year after graduation. It was the best business investment I’ve ever made. We reached all of my contracted goals and far exceeded the anticipated $10,000 per month increase. I recommend anyone who wants to increase productivity and reduce stress to use them to achieve your goals.”

  “I would recommend The Ledbetter Group as a consultant for any office that would like to become more successful, stable, organized and fun. Our production increased by more than the minimum $10,000 promised. My staff has become a more cohesive unit and has achieved a high level of teamwork.”

  Dr. John Barnes (University of Alabama Dental School 1981)

  "I worked with The Ledbetter Group as consultants and still use the principles learned everyday with great success. I had been to essentially every practice management seminar and interviewed three other consulting firms before deciding on Ledbetter. The others required that you travel your entire staff to their facility and train there. Very expensive. Some relied on a great deal of emotional interaction and physical contact as a part of their training. When I interviewed Russ about this he said “We solve business problems with business solutions.” That got my attention. Ledbetter consultants come to you and your facility and see your staff and facilities in action, they can implement a business solution that will fork for YOU. A consultant lecturing to several offices at some distant site cannot possibly offer the solutions that Ledbetter can actually implement inside your own office. My bottom line is better every day because of my experience with Ledbetter. This paid for itself in a few months. On the other hand, if you are not using Ledbetter, you are losing money every day. When people call me for a reference, I tell them that I have already done the analysis on this for them and they just need to call Ledbetter and get started right away. Don’t think about it, just do it!" Best regards – John (Roll Tide!) www.drjohnbarnes.com

  Dr. Calvin Sanders (University of Alabama Dental School 1973)

  "In 1998 I had been in practice 23 years and was 51 years old and was making a living-not destitute and not getting rich. I had pretty much decided that if I was doing the best I would ever do, I would just be content with that. But then Lois Ann Ledbetter called, having been referred to me by a friend. After talking to her on the phone, I decided I would really like to know if I could do better and enjoy dentistry more (I really dreaded going to the office). But I had one big obstacle. There was no way I could pay her except by using what little savings I had. Happily, I never used a penny of savings. Increased production easily paid her monthly fee. I now enjoy dentistry. Numbers: In 1997 I was stagnated at $250,000 to $260,000 a year. In 1998 I did $365,000. In 2001 I hit $500,000. In 2006 I hit $600,000. (I live and practice in rural northeast Alabama). My guess is that most doctors who commit to Mrs. Ledbetter do better than this. Things I have been able to do because of increased production: fully fund our pension and profit sharing plans for me and my staff (from the first month I worked with Mrs. Ledbetter); give bonuses to my staff based on collections (average of $390/month each); place and pay for $100,000 of new equipment (over 9 months); purchase and pay for digital intra-oral and panoramic radiographic equipment; pay for office remodeling (interior and exterior); go to a 4 day work week; take my staff to the ADA meeting in San Francisco as a reward for doing $600,000."

  “Hiring The Ledbetter Group is the single best investment we’ve ever made in our practice. They delivered what they promised and then some. Production is soaring and continuing to grow, stress is way down and morale is way up. It’s truly a pleasure to go to work these days. I highly recommend their services.”

  “I have practiced dentistry independently for over 25 years and have done well. However, I wanted to gain more control of business practices and improve my performance as an employer. I also wanted to increase overall efficiency and develop an excellent staff. After checking references, I decided to utilize The Ledbetter Groups’ services. We have been able to surpass all of our initial goals. Our production has increased about 110%. My overhead percentage has decreased with this growth. My employees are thrilled with the changes. Most importantly to me is that they followed through precisely on everything they promised. I endorse The Ledbetter Group completely!”

  “I highly recommend the consulting program that The Ledbetter Group has to offer. My practice was not growing as fast as I knew it could, but I didn’t know how to change that. Once hired, our production increased by a little more than $16,000 per month. In addition, our collection percentage improved dramatically. The Ledbetter Group gave me the tools to be a good manager and leader. I now have a road map to where I want my practice to go.”

  “My goals for working with The Ledbetter Group were: I wanted an increase of over $10,000 per month in income, to have a stable and profitable hygiene department, and to have a consistently balanced and less stressful schedule. All three of these goals were achieved in excess of my expectations. I would encourage you to allow The Ledbetter Group to analyze your practice to see if they can help you in any of these or other areas.” www.bearddentistry.com

  “From July 1992 through June 1993 I have had the pleasure of working with The Ledbetter Group, a practice consulting firm dedicated to helping professionals realize and achieve their maximum potential. Prior to my retaining their services my practices (a private practice with a small satellite office) had reached a plateau. The first six months of 1992 showed only a 2% growth over the same period in 1991. Cash flow was a nightmare; patient recall was virtually non-effective, staff inter-communications were very poor, and I felt like the practices were in control of me rather than I being in control of them. I had considered hiring a practice consultant on several occasions, but I never did because I did not think I could afford it. Then I came to the realization that I could no longer afford not to hire a consultant. As a result of working with The Ledbetter Group, the first six months of this year showed an increase in production of 35% over the first six months of 1992. At this present growth rate, this will be an increase in production of well over $100,000 for 1993! Cash flow is no longer a worry, patient recall efficiency has increased tremendously, and the staff now works together like a championship team. I can recommend The Ledbetter Group without any reservations if you want your business to be the best it can be. My only regret is that I did not hear about them sooner!”

  “Several close friends who used The Ledbetter Group encouraged me to hire them. I had a good dental practice but there were several areas that I knew needed improvement. The Ledbetter Group helped me with those and many more. My production increased by over 40% and my office runs smoother, our team work has improved and we treat more new patients.”

  "I confidently recommend the consulting services of The Ledbetter Group. Theirs is not a cookbook approach to consulting. It is personalized and designed to meet specific needs. As a result of their coaching effort, my practice experienced an increase in both production and collections. These results are even more impressive when you consider my partner retired and I produced 20% more than both of us combined. In addition, I became a better leader and manager of my staff, which now wonderfully together as a team; my staff and I have reached a new level of commitment to our practice and to our patients."
