About Weiss Practice Dental Consulting
Our Philosophy
We’re an intentionally small firm, so our programs are tailored to meet your unique needs. Unlike the dental consulting model of larger practice management companies, we don’t drop dentists onto consulting conveyer belt with predetermined classes and targets. Every consulting call and team training is calibrated to your circumstances.
Who is Sharyn Weiss?
Weiss Practice Enhancement was formed from my belief that dentists deserve exemplary, personalized practice management guidance that focuses on implementation, at an affordable price.
My work in practice management began at Pride Institute where I was the Curriculum Designer and a Senior Consultant for 17 years. While there, I saw that some dentists were overwhelmed by the pace of learning and the inflexible workshop schedule we imposed on them. I realized that dentists need more hands-on guidance to fully implement the skills and systems we taught.
That’s why I do things differently in my own dental practice management firm. I am personally invested in each practice’s success. And I’m thrilled that 95% of my dental clients choose to work with me year after year.
I’ve been fortunate to integrate my educational background into this work. I have a BA in English from Queens College and an MA from the Ohio State University in Training & Development. I work with dentists nationwide, while being located in lovely Sonoma County, CA.
