DSO Fractional Chief Hygiene Officer

I am honored to be considered an authority on DSO Hygiene Department Development. I train emerging DSOs to develop a high functioning profitable hygiene department positioned for same store growth and acquisition scalability with consistent and profitable patient-centered systems.

What is a Fractional CHO (Chief Hygiene Officer)?

Fractional C-level executives are typically former executives who provide their services and expertise toward an organization's strategic goals and projects for a fraction of time and cost of a full-time chief officer. This allows startups to access the skills and expertise of experienced executives without incurring the high costs of hiring a full-time executive as an employee.

Too often emerging DSOs are eager to “grow” by quickly acquiring more practices without a solid foundation in place. The foundation of any general dental practice includes a healthy profitable hygiene department. Your hygiene department should:

•	Demonstrate values congruent with company culture
•	Utilize consistent clinical, business, communication systems and protocols
•	Promote and fulfill a comprehensive periodontal program
•	Refer 30% of restorative production to the dentist
•	Enjoy 60-80% case acceptance
•	Forecast for growth
•	Include culture that enhances, enriches, empowers your hygienists

As badly as emerging DSOs need a game plan for growth, it’s often just not in the budget. That’s where a fractional exec can help.

As your Fractional CHO, I utilize my past DSO experience to teach you to create a hygiene department that will include a corporate team, and systems that are profitable, consistent and scalable. I will also share, with you, my extensive network of resources (including other DSO fractional execs) for other department leaders you will need. Finally, when you’re ready, I’ll leave you with a proven future plan, and help you recruit and train your eventual future full-time Hygiene Leader.
