"Hiring Russ and his team (The Ledbetter Group) was not only my best business and career decision ever but also by far the best investment of my life. I have never bought any piece of equipment or attended any seminar where I had a 1700% return (over $513,000) within 1 year. Although the numbers speak for themselves, Russ' overall impact on my life was even more valuable. My only regret is that I waited 8.5 years to decide I needed a "coach" - someone to teach me what dental school did not! Thanks for everything. "

"Hiring The Ledbetter Group is the single best investment we've ever made in our practice. They delivered what they promised and then some. Production is soaring and continuing to grow, stress is way down and morale is way up. It's truly a pleasure to go to work these days. I highly recommend their services."

"Dear Fellow Emory Classmates, I hope that all of you are well and continue to enjoy the practice of dentistry. My wife and I raised, educated and married-off three children, all in good health and look forward to more leisure time in the coming years. After twenty years in the Army, I settled in Newnan, Georgia, and opened a solo practice. The practice was very successful, but I knew I needed to position it for maximum return when the time came for a sale. Although I am generally leery of practice consultants, a friend, who had worked successfully with her, introduced me to Lois Ann Ledbetter. Lois Ann did a practice analysis for me in one day and felt that we could improve profits and better prepare the practice for sale over a relatively short time. We agreed on a one-year contract and began fine-tuning the practice. Production, collections and profit increased fifteen percent. The practice of dentistry became more pleasant and profitable than ever. It wasn't easy or cheap, but it worked. A year later, I sold the practice for substantially more than it was worth before. Lois Ann's efforts are appreciated and I now work part time and am free of administrative hassles. I don't know what your future plans are, but if you want to have a smoother running practice, increase profits and plan for retirement, I recommend Lois Ann's services to you."

"Russ Ledbetter has really helped me to grow personally and professionally. When I hired Russ, tension between my staff members had reached a critical level; and I lacked the leadership skills to know how to resolve the situation. Russ taught me some valuable management techniques to help resolve conflict in the office. He taught me how to monitor critical performance indicators in the practice so that I can tell which areas are performing well and which need improvement. I was promised a $10,000 per month increase and he exceeded that by over 170%. Not all success can be measured in dollars and several quality of life type improvements have made being at work more enjoyable. Over the course of the past year Russ has become a personal friend and mentor. I can say without reservation that he has saved me years of trial and error in learning to be a more effective leader and manager."

"I heard about Russ at The Ledbetter Group through a friend that was considering hiring a consultant. I have to admit that at first I was very skeptical about the promises made and goals that could be reached using The Ledbetter Group, but as the meetings and conversations progressed, I realized that each and every goal was being met. I was thoroughly pleased with my results and would recommend The Ledbetter Group to all."

"It is my pleasure to recommend Russ Ledbetter of The Ledbetter Group. Russ has tweaked vast information into practical applications that you can learn today and use tomorrow. I have benefited tremendously, financially and personally, through Mr. Ledbetter's guidance. I can honestly say that not a day goes by that I don't use something that he has taught me. I have seen phenomenal growth in my practice and my staff development since learning his tried and true techniques. I am grateful for all that he has done to help my practice grow and flourish."

"We are sincerely grateful for the opportunity to work with The Ledbetter Group. Our initial objective was to deepen our understanding of insurance systems and to clearly define roles for our front desk team. Ashley played a pivotal role in helping us achieve this goal. Her expertise was evident, and we especially appreciated her in-office visits on three separate occasions. During that time, she built rapport with the front desk staff, collaborated with Dr. Weldon to clarify roles and responsibilities, and effectively implemented those changes. It has been a tremendous relief to ownership knowing that front office operations are now running at a much higher level of efficiency. Our second objective was to increase production and collections without adding providers or staff. This was successfully achieved through collaboration with Russ, who helped us design a structured, productive schedule with protected time blocks. These blocks can only be adjusted if specific production criteria or procedures are scheduled, ensuring we stay on track. Our third goal was to reduce Dr. Weldon’s administrative workload. While this is still in progress, we’ve made meaningful strides by training another team member to take on some of the more routine tasks. Looking ahead, we plan to hire an office manager once we reach our targeted production benchmarks. Lastly, we truly valued our initial strategy meeting with Russ. It created a space for open, honest, and respectful communication with our entire team and was an important foundation for the progress we’ve made."

"If you are overly stressed at running your practice and feel like you're in over your head managing your staff, there is a simple and effective solution: The Ledbetter Group practice management. How do I know this? Twelve months ago we were in the same boat... frustrated, stressed and genuinely looking at other professional options. Russ Ledbetter discussed our goals and dreams for the practice, formulated a strategy and helped us to work towards fulfilling those goals. Our staff is much more motivated and efficient, we are less stressed, and the practice is more profitable. Win...win...win. We have no reservations recommending The Ledbetter Group."

"Without a doubt the best return on my investment I have ever had, bar none."

"The Ledbetter Group is a wonderful company to work with. Russ is personable and professional. He tailors your program for you and your practice’s needs. He worked with our associate dentist and practice administrator who are brother and sister and soon-to-be owners of Personal Attention Dental Center. He’s not a magician, but if you’re coachable and passionate about your profession, he’s the perfect guy to give you the tools to launch you into success. Thanks to Russ and his front desk consultant, Cynthia, 2022 was our most successful year yet!"

"Russ Ledbetter of The Ledbetter Group worked with me on practice management issues several years ago. The things I learned from working with him then have paid tremendous dividends since. Our practice of dentistry has been more efficient, less stressful, and much more productive as a result of his training. I highly recommend his services!"

"I would like to compliment The Ledbetter Group for the outstanding service it provides. Russ is honest and he keeps his promises. He asks you what your goals are, and like a magician, in the end, makes them happen. We are now collecting more than $500 per day more than we were when we started with him. We used to work all Fridays, and now we work only one. I'm on the verge of hiring an associate (one of my goals), and the situation is promising, so that I can eventually form a partnership, so that I can take more vacation (one of my other goals). To be clear, Russ does not push adding a partner, and only offered some feedback on how I might approach it. He is in the business of improving the business you've already established, not overhauling it. His secret involves his hard work and study, personalized to your practice. Consultants and coaches require your participation as well as your staff's, and his system is wonderful at getting that. His methods are logical and easy to implement. He sticks with you and constantly has new ideas. He follows through. You follow through. Once the year is up, you miss the Group, but you and the staff are better than you were the year before. It's a better place to work. A better place to practice dentistry."

"My practice utilized the consulting services of The Ledbetter Group to help us reach our maximum potential. We were extremely pleased with the professionalism and courteous guidance they provided us. As a result of implementing the recommendations they provided us with, our practice increased its productivity by 25-30% per month."
