Success Stories

"I am so grateful for the patience and personal attention Todd McVay gave in the transition of the dental practice I recently purchased. Throughout the process, Todd provided the appropriate level of information, business expertise, and global perspective that ultimately made the 'deal' happen. When there were road bumps in the process, Todd's experience and measured persistence kept us going in the right direction. "

"I wish to give a heartfelt endorsement to Todd McVay for the personal and professional handling of my transition to Retirement. The amount of time and energy Todd expended on a difficult process was beyond his duty. "

"I commend the McVay-Knutzen group on a job well done on my dental practice transition as a buyer...yes, as a buyer...highly unusual but definitely refreshing. Todd McVay went through the necessary steps without force and without pressure to ensure the transition to be as successful and fair as possible. The end result is a compatible match with the staff and patients alike. "

"My Dad worked as a general dentist for more than 50 years and told me that working with Dave Knutzen was one of the smartest moves he made to make doing dentistry less stressful and more profitable. Now I work with Todd  & Kristie McVay, and can say that what dad said is true for the 'new team'!!  Todd and Kristie are responsive and helpful with the answers to questions and requests, always going the extra mile, literally, to make sure I have all the information to decide what I should do in my practice. Their monitoring system makes sense and gives my team useful information we use. They are at the top of my trusted advisors list, and I recommend them with enthusiasm."

"Our practice has been with the Knutzen-McVay Group for over twenty years.  During that time, we have seen consistent growth and we have been able to control our overhead much more easily, due to the statistical analysis that The Knutzen-McVay Group provides on a quarterly basis."

"In what is by nature a very complex and sometimes stressful situation, The Knutzen-McVay Group did an amazing job of helping me have a smooth and successful transition.  Every detail was accounted for and there were no surprises.  I would recommend their group without hesitation to anyone looking for assistance with a practice transition.  Thanks again!"

"The most valuable service The Knutzen-McVay Group provides for our office is their fee schedule analysis.  As the business manager, I am heavily biased toward higher fees because I pay all the bills.  If I set prices, we would probably lose many great families that are the foundation of this practice.  If our doctors set fees, they would probably price us into bankruptcy because of compassion for their patients.  No one in our office is truly objective about what we should charge for our services.  The Knutzen-McVay Group consistently gives us objective fee schedule recommendations that put us in the "sweet spot" between profitability and patient loyalty."

"I have worked with The Knutzen-McVay Group for over 25 years, from the time I wasn't sure which end of the bur to use, to managing a large and busy practice.  Dave has helped me find my way, has always been there for advice, steered me in good directions, and is a wealth of information and enthusiasm."

"The Knutzen-McVay Group has helped me to make sure my fees are in the correct range.  They have helped me determine if my goals are realistic and achievable.  Also, when I made the decision to bring in an associate, they helped determine when my office was ready for this.  The group has helped me with ideas regarding collections, increasing patients, and they have let me know how other dentists are doing during these economic times, which gives me peace of mind!"
