The interview
What was your situation before joining Sachin and the Perfect Practice mentorship?
I have a busy clinic and we've been in practice for the better part of 17 years right now, but I felt like I was all over the place and I had lots going on. I felt like I was just doing my best to get through the day, wearing so many different hats, and I found I was still stuck in that one-to-one model. No matter how many patients I could see in a day, if I didn't show up to work the next day, I didn't get paid.
What was the primary struggle you were looking to solve?
Ultimately what I was struggling with is how do I scale myself? How do I scale my knowledge and leverage my knowledge so that we can get away from the one-to-one model to a one-to-many model? I'd been struggling for many years to try and create systems in my practice.
What made you decide to say yes to Perfect Practice?
It was Sachin. I've known Sachin for many years prior to actually joining his mentorship, so I knew the quality of his work, his ability to connect on a human level, and that his altruistic intentions were to help other practitioners get better. When I had the opportunity to join, it was a no-brainer for me.
How has your lifestyle changed since joining the program?
My lifestyle has improved a lot by being more efficient with my time and focusing my tasks on creating systems and programs. I'm creating more time and ultimately more freedom to hang with my family and my friends at my discretion without ever taking a vacation and worrying that I need to be back in the clinic. It has improved my quality of life.
What impact has the community had on your patient results?
We have a tremendous amount of experience and different types of practitioners where everyone brings their expertise to the table. This has been tremendously helpful for me to bounce clinical ideas off of and ensure we're getting the best of everything. We discuss difficult cases and roadblocks we're seeing with our care, which has been a tremendous value.
What surprised you most about the experience?
What surprised me the most was legitimately the generosity that Sachin and his team provide. It was unexpected in the sense that there were just so many ways and touches that Sachin and his team really help to show how much they care. They go that extra mile to provide value, and you feel it right from day one.
Who would you recommend this mentorship to?
I would recommend the Perfect Practice mentorship to any practitioner right now who's looking to take their practice to another level. It doesn't matter if you're busy or not; Sachin and his team are going to meet you where you're at, whether you've got an existing brick-and-mortar or you're strictly online.
Frequently asked
