Char Sweeney

Char Sweeney began her career in dentistry in 1979 as a chair side dental assistant. She attended Ferris State University and the University of Alaska, and received her degree in Allied Health Science Dental Technology. She returned to private practice as a business assistant, and eventually, a practice administrator. She was an independent practice management consultant prior to joining Linda L. Miles & Associates in 1992.
Char has lectured at numerous dental meetings, including the Greater New York, Masters of Dentistry in Australia, the American Dental Association Meeting and the Seattle Study Club National Symposium. She is a graduate of the Dale Carnegie Institute, a member of the Academy of Practice Management Consultants, the Speaking/Consulting Network, and has been published in numerous journals and newsletters throughout the country.
Char has worked in both the business and clinical aspect of dentistry, and understands the unique challenges that both areas face. Her goal is to help clients create a sound business plan and assist everyone in reaching their true potential.
Once a practice becomes successful, there is no guarantee it stays that way. Dentists become so busy taking care of patients’ clinical needs that they often lose sight of the slight but constant decline in the practice systems that over a two to four year time frame can spell total disaster. Changes in staff means changes in systems such as scheduling, hygiene department effectiveness, patient reactivation, collections, insurance management, office guidelines in dealing with patients, and the use of the computers and other technology. This lively and informative program outlines ways to be so efficient that not only will productivity increase, but also the work environment becomes a fun and professional place and stays that way.
