A Message from Dr. John Meis...
Who is Dr. John Meis?

But what he found was that...
- Working harder did not mean making more money.
- When you hire people, you have to have time to train them.
- Not having an office manager or leader puts all the responsibility on him.
- You can be the best dentist around or have the best marketing, but without a great patient experience they won’t stay.
What had made his practice good – his strong-willed work ethic driving harder and harder and faster and faster was now becoming his own worst enemy. He had become the bottle-neck. He had a great team who wanted to do more, but he didn’t know how to let go.
“Here is what took me longer than I wish to realize; As dentists, our practice is our biggest asset. And at some point in the future, you must sell that asset and convert it into cash. Otherwise, retirement will be impossible... and you may find yourself working until you drop dead chair-side (not good).”
So how did he do it?
- He doubled the production in the practice by giving patients what they want.
- He doubled the value of the practice (which is not the same as the production) by creating systems and efficiency.
- He doubled his freedom by creating a self-managing practice (that worked with him, around him, not one that he had to work – totally different than growing a practice.)
Today, with his partner Wendy Briggs RDH, they are helping dental professionals around the world short-cut their learning and implement a simple 5-step process to double their dental practice production.
Who is Wendy Briggs?

She didn’t realize that when she took a part-time high school job in a dental office that she would become obsessed with oral health. With two small babies at home and a husband still in school, Wendy graduated hygiene school and was quickly frustrated with the culture of hygienists vs. the rest of the practice. She knew there had to be a better way to view hygiene and a better way to serve the patients. She spent the next 10 years perfecting a system that did just that. Her Hygiene Explosion systems took the dental community by storm and she has been one of the most sought-after speaker, coach, and trainer, for dental practices. Her views on the roles of the modern hygienist have sparked an entirely new way to view the role of hygiene in the dental practice.
Her kids are grown and she is enjoying the joys of being a grandmother. Her daughter Kati continues her obsession of oral health. She is following in her foot-steps as a Hygienist and has taken over oral care for the family. 🙂
With a team of incredible professionals who are living what they teach, their systems are revolutionizing dental practices. The Team Training Institute's programs have a powerful effect on every aspect of the dental office; Doctor Productivity, Hygiene Productivity, New Patient Effectiveness, Front Desk Systems, Practice Operations… every vital piece of the Dental Practice Puzzle.
