“Ultimately what I was struggling with is like, how do I scale myself? How do I scale my knowledge? How do I leverage my knowledge so that we can get away from the one to one model to a one to many model?”
“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 oh my gosh I need to be back in the clinic.”

The interview
What was your situation before joining 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 many different hats. I found I was still stuck in that one-to-one model where if I didn't show up to work the next day, I don't get paid.
What specific struggle were you trying to overcome?
Ultimately what I was struggling with is how do I scale myself? How do I scale my knowledge and leverage it 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 to get away from that model.
What made you decide to join Perfect Practice?
It was Sachin. I've known Sachin for many years prior to joining and I knew the quality of his work and his ability to connect on a human level. I knew his altruistic intentions were to help other practitioners get better. When I had the opportunity to join, it was a no-brainer because I was already aligned with him.
How has your lifestyle improved 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 in Toronto.
What impact has the community had on your clinical results?
The group we have in the mentorship has a tremendous amount of experience and different types of practitioners who bring their expertise to the table. This has been tremendously helpful for me to bounce clinical ideas off and ensure we're getting the best of everything. We come together to discuss difficult cases and roadblocks we're seeing with our care.
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 the team really helps to show how much they care. They go that extra mile to provide value that you feel 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; they are going to meet you where you're at whether you've got an existing brick-and-mortar or you're strictly online.
