Tina Funari, Office Manager,
Maplewood, MN
“About 4 years ago I was at a digital seminar at the Chicago midwinter and the presenter recommended several Installers nationwide, and Ted was one of them. We talked and he looked at the plans of the office, and afterwards and decided that the costs at that time outweighed the benefits. Ted’s honest advice saved me thousands
Drs. Karl Berg and Mike Skramstad, Orono Dental
“Impressive piece of work by Marv. It shines.” Dr. Karl Berg
“Awesome job Marv. Love it!” Dr. Michael Skramstad
Dr. Mike Wolf,

“I have been out of the Delta network for years and my practice had stagnated. Bill and his staff got us revved up again and we have now experienced two years of solid growth.”
Dr. Lisa Johnson,
Grand Rapids, MN
“We had a phenomenal production total — one of the best the office has ever had. I really feel like all the things you’ve worked on with us are paying off, and our patients are benefiting, as well as the staff.”
You'll be saying how much happier you are... just like these satisfied clients.

About us and how it works.
How it works: Every practice is different. That’s why we never use a canned approach. We work with your realities. That's how we get great results.
Your relationship with Advanced Practice Management begins with a 20 minute conversation with Bill Rossi, Matt Lahn or Shelly Ryan.
Our clients tell us the main thing they want from us is an informed third party perspective. Tell us about your situation. We’ll give you straight talk and answers. Feel free to ask any questions about us you wish. We are also happy to supply references. Since each practice is different, so is our approach to each practice.
Of course, many Doctors want increased growth and profit. Sometimes clients are asking us whether or not they should continue or discontinue participation with a particular PPO (or Delta). Or, they want to know if they are expecting too much or too little from their staff. We can help you with how to implement solutions.
Sometimes there are very specific training needs. We’ll approach your concerns and those concerns only. We believe, “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it,” so we are free to focus on the areas of your practice that really need attention. You’ll never experience sales pressure with us. So, you can call us with confidence knowing that we will respect your time and wishes.
The average Advanced Practice Management client enjoys a 24.3% gain (our last 265 starts).
And, not everyone that hires us is necessarily looking for growth! Most of the practitioners who call us are already successful but they know if they leverage their clinical experience and skills with our management know-how, they’ll get a better outcome for their patients, the practice and themselves.
Call us at 952-921-3360 today. We look forward to hearing from you.
Why do already successful dentists hire Advanced Practice Management?
“In over 26 years that l’ve practiced dentistry, hiring Advanced Practice Management has been the best business decision I have made. Advanced Practice Management has taken my practice from one with a lot of potential and turned it into a very profitable, well-run dental office.”
Call today for an informal 15–20 minute phone consultation. No pressure, no hype, no charge... just a chance for you to find out more.
