Since working with Five Star, I've literally doubled my practice and it's become a lot more fun.

From an already successful practice to a stronger associate program, significant growth, and three consecutive best-ever years.

Dr. Chris Q. wasn’t looking to Five Star Management to rescue a struggling practice.
His practice was already successful.
But Chris knew there was room to get better, particularly when it came to the associate program.
After connecting with Dr. Noel Lloyd and Five Star, Chris began rethinking and rebuilding the way his practice developed associates.
The result was a completely revamped associate program, greater success for his associate doctors, significant practice growth, and three consecutive best-ever years.
When Dr. Chris Q. connected with Five Star, his practice wasn’t failing.
In fact, it was doing well.
We’ve always been blessed with a very successful practice, and we just wanted to get better.
That created a different kind of challenge.
Chris wasn’t trying to fix a broken business. He wanted to identify the areas where an already successful practice could improve and create even greater long-term growth.
One of the biggest opportunities was the associate program.
He wanted a stronger system for developing associates and helping them succeed alongside the practice.
Working with Five Star, Chris didn’t simply make a few small adjustments to the associate program.
He describes the change as a complete revamp.
We’ve totally revamped our associate program.
That gave the practice a stronger foundation for developing its doctors and creating success throughout the organization.
Instead of accepting the existing associate model simply because the practice was already doing well, Chris looked for ways to improve it.
The goal was to create an associate program that could support the next stage of growth.
One of the most important outcomes of the revamped program has been greater success for Chris’s associates.
The goal wasn’t simply to use associate doctors to increase the capacity of the practice.
The associates themselves needed an opportunity to grow and succeed.
Chris reports that the changes have led to great success with the associates, while the overall practice has grown significantly.
That created a stronger relationship between associate development and practice performance.
When the doctors succeed, the practice has a stronger foundation for succeeding too.
Since strengthening the associate program, Chris reports that the practice has experienced significant growth.
Even more impressive:
Three Years. Three Best-Ever Years.
At the time of his testimonial, Chris’s practice had achieved its best-ever year three consecutive years in a row.
And he wasn’t looking to stop there.
We’re looking to keep that streak going this year.
That consistency is what makes Chris’s story so compelling.
This wasn’t one unusually strong year.
The practice continued raising the bar year after year.
Since working with Five Star, Chris has:
We’ve totally revamped our associate program. It’s led to great success with our associates, and the practice is up significantly since we first started.
Dr. Chris Q.’s story is different from many practice transformations.
He didn’t begin from a place of crisis.
He began from a place of success.
The question wasn’t:
“How do we fix this?”
It was:
“How do we make this even better?”
By strengthening one of the most important parts of the organization, the associate program, Chris was able to build on an already successful foundation and reach new levels of performance.
Three consecutive best-ever years later, he’s still focused on what’s next.
