| “We have utilized Sheila’s services for 1½ years. In the past we always had great intentions of better managing our own AR. However, it is a job that no one in the office enjoys and easily ignored. Once we connected with Sheila we had a low cost alternative to adding another part time team member. We are very satisfied with Sheila’s service and professionalism. Sheila has good results with a very “soft” touch. I would recommend Sheila to any office.” |
Marsha L. Hansen,
Office Manager,
Dr. Koubsky’s Office,

 “Debra McGrath has been an incredible help to our practice. Her extensive knowledge of Softdent has helped us utilize so many features of our program that we were unaware of.

She is always so eager to help us and really takes the extra time to make sure we understand what she is teaching us
“She teaches in a way that makes us feel comfortable with her and she never makes us feel intimidated. She definitely is a valuable asset to our team!” |
