Gary Takacs

Thriving Dentist

About

Over 42+ years and across 2,200+ practices, he has refined 24 proven operational systems designed to address the most common and costly challenges in dental practice management. From overhead control and PPO reduction to scheduling, new patient retention, hygiene department performance, successful marketing, and team alignment, these systems cover every area of a dental practice. Each system is customized to the individual practice and introduced at a pace the team can realistically implement. Among many transformations, these systems have helped a multi-location practice grow from $3.4M to more than $7M, helped a century-old solo practice recover $340K in annual write-offs, and helped a fully booked practice exit its first insurance plan without losing a single patient. These systems continue to deliver results year after year, across practice after practice. “He started coaching because he believed dentists deserved better. After 42+ years, that belief has not changed. He believes every dentist deserves a thriving practice.”
