I hired Leverage Consulting about a year ago desiring to achieve our goals and obtain operational excellence. I had been in solo practice more than 20 years and had a profitable practice, but the stress and chaos that sometimes accompanied practice growth seemed to be difficult to manage. Although I wanted to continue to grow the practice and improve the bottom line, I wanted to accomplish this in a way that would improve team performance and efficiency, reduce stress, and have a happier team and happier patients. Kevin has the ability to assess the many aspects of the practice and design plans that utilize systems, proven strategies and solutions to achieve our goals.

"Kevin helped me move from founder-heavy operations to a company that can truly run and scale" When I started working with Kevin, the business was already doing well. We were flipping houses, managing rentals, running renovations. Revenue wasn’t the issue. From the outside, it looked like we had it figured out. But internally, I knew we didn’t. I was still at the center of too many decisions. Leadership wasn’t as tight as it needed to be. Growth had happened, but structure hadn’t caught up. We were busy and profitable, but not truly in control. That’s where Kevin came in. He didn’t show up with fluff or generic advice. He got to know the business, how I think, and where the real bottlenecks were. We cleaned up our meeting structure. Clarified roles and expectations. Coached key leaders. And yes, made some hard changes where the fit just wasn’t right anymore. Not personal. Just business. The biggest shift was building real operational leadership inside the company. Instead of ideas living in my head, we developed a director who could actually execute them through the team. That gave me space to focus on higher-level strategy and growth instead of constantly solving day-to-day issues. Since then, our profitability is clearer, our numbers are tighter, and our leadership structure actually supports scale. I’m not the bottleneck anymore. We went from being a company that looked successful to one that’s structured, disciplined, and built to grow the right way. Kevin helped me move from founder-heavy operations to a company that can truly run and scale. That’s been a game changer.

“Kevin’s trusted advice and tailored solutions have helped me maintain and improve the systems crucial to my implant practice. His experience offers clear direction and practical strategies to achieve optimal results.”

"Kevin brings out the best in me and our office. He gives us different perspectives, and the tools we need to achieve our professional goals. Leverage Consulting helped us fine tune our systems for better patient care and less stress"

“Working with Leverage Consulting has been rewarding not only financially but also by decreasing office stress. With his experience, we became more efficient—higher production, better communication, and most importantly… less stress.”

“We Rebuilt the Culture — and Everything Changed.” “When I first reached out to Kevin, I was under a tremendous amount of stress. I was in a partnership that wasn’t aligned with how I wanted to run the practice, and I had hit what felt like a glass ceiling. Revenue was stagnant. Systems were outdated. And parts of the culture were resistant to change. Once I became the sole owner, Kevin helped me think differently. He didn’t just give advice — he helped me rebuild the structure of the practice strategically, financially, and culturally. One of the hardest but most necessary steps was addressing legacy team dynamics that were holding us back. We had long-standing mindsets rooted in “this is how we’ve always done it.” That mentality had quietly limited growth for years. Transitioning away from that resistance and bringing in people aligned with a forward-thinking vision changed everything. Today, one doctor is producing what two doctors produced before — with fewer team members and fewer clinical days. In our second year working together, we experienced a 153% growth quarter. We’ve systematized operations, clarified KPIs, strengthened profitability, built a stronger referral base, and developed a focused implant strategy. Just as importantly, the culture is completely different. The team knows the goals. They understand the direction. There’s alignment, accountability, and momentum. What Kevin does is expose what you’re not seeing. He challenges you when necessary, but always with the intention of moving the practice forward. I’m happier. The practice is stronger. And for the first time in years, I feel like we’re building the future I originally envisioned.”

“We just wrapped up our best month and year ever! Had our 1st $300K month of production at $300,979 and blew out that $2.4 mil goal, barely missing $2.5 mil at $2,494,790 in production! The team is all fired up! Thanks for all of your help these past few years!”

“Love this consulting firm! They have helped my business improve in every avenue and help make dentistry fun every day! Thank you Kevin!”

“When it comes to consulting companies, I’ve seen a few. I’ve liked some, and others, not so much. Kevin Johnson is praiseworthy! Not only has he helped me my find my way as an Office Manager, but his expertise in the Dental field has helped our team in achieving its goals and taught us how to hire great new team members as we grow. His knowledge is reflected in the increase in production, collections and our new patient numbers! The only regret is that I didn’t know Kevin sooner. Our years with Kevin are some of the best we’ve had. I am looking forward to many more years of growth and learning with Leverage Consulting.”

“I have really appreciated working with Kevin over the last several years. When we first started working with him, one thing that impressed me most was the effort that he made to really get to know our team—its strengths and weaknesses and our current systems—and he used all that data to really personalize a plan that would capitalize on what was good, but also improve upon what was not working well. Kevin has become more than just a consultant to us—he’s become a coach, a cheerleader, a trainer, a seat-kicker when we needed it, and really, a friend to our practice. His input has been invaluable to helping our team and our practice grow.”

“We’ve worked with Kevin for years! He’s amazing and has great skills in helping us build a great practice!”

My partners and I were initially hesitant about bringing a consultant into our practice. We were all working in our practice but not on our practice. Kevin’s focus on operational excellence pointed us all in the same direction and towards common goals. He has challenged our team to work more effectively, moving forward with renewed positive attitudes and rekindled passions. It is hard to believe that even after an increase of $310,000 in production over a year, we feel as though we have actually worked less. With improved office systems and a more cohesive team culture, once again, we look forward to heading to the office and cannot wait to see how far we climb after another year with Kevin’s coaching.

“Kevin’s talent and expertise enhanced my professional life, as well as, my personal life. As a former colleague, Kevin was always able to help problem solve situations and develop solutions that would achieve the primary goals. I also observed the ongoing success his clients continually achieved and because of that I recommended that my husband seek Kevin’s advice for his practice. As the wife of an Oral Surgeon, the benefits to me have been watching my husband’s practice grow exponentially through custom tailored solutions, a focus on developing the team and designing systems for a low stress environment. We’ve found peace of mind when working with a trusted advisor such as Kevin.”

“Kevin and Leverage Consulting have been helping to improve and build our Pediatric Dental Practice for years. We have seen measurable improvements in patient and practice numbers along with increased efficiency and workplace satisfaction. Kevin is a thorough and organized professional consultant who has experience and knowledge of dental office systems and dynamics. Our practice has seen tremendous value in having a partner like Kevin and Leverage Consulting.”

“Your talent for business and finance is second to none!! I wish every office or business struggling or just wants real, candid and honest advice on how to succeed knew about you!! I recommend you highly to everyone I know.”

Often times it takes more than a strong will and hard work to achieve a successful business… that is where Kevin’s leadership and direction made a big impact to our already successful practice. I hired Kevin and have used his services twice; the first time was ten years ago and since then, our practice has become the premier oral surgery and dental implant group practice in San Diego. Using the foundation of his recommendations and the systems and framework he helped us put into motion, we’ve achieved many of our professional and personal goals. This has afforded me the quality of life and level of income that I visualized for myself and my team early in my career. I tell people who are considering hiring Kevin, that they will make millions if they do EXACTLY what Kevin tells them to do.

“Kevin with Leverage Consulting joined our Texas Maxillofacial Surgery team as a consultant in 2018. We have gained so much insight and knowledge at every level of our practice. He was able to address our business practices, management systems, team collaboration, organizational protocols, workplace stress, and much more. There are several systems and protocols in which he gave us his consulting expertise to help with increasing efficiency and profitability. Kevin made tailored suggestions relating to new systems and changes to existing systems that fit our practice’s needs. Several suggestions were implemented and will continue to be used for the foreseeable future. He is not only easy to talk to but easy to get ahold of. Kevin always got back to us in a timely manner and scheduling conference calls with him is a breeze. Regarding my position as the practice manager, Kevin was able to help me transition smoothly into this role with valuable information and ideas to implement with my team. I not only consider Kevin a stellar consultant and speaker, but with the ease of our professional relationship and all I learned from him, I consider him a friend. I highly recommend Kevin and Leverage Consulting for all your dental and medical consulting needs.”

“Thank you so very much for your time and attention to detail the last two days. I, for one, appreciate the clear and concise directions. I had a meeting with the staff this morning and have implemented several of the action items with dates and metrics in place to follow progress. I will let you know all about it. It is so important for any business to put into place personal and team goals in order to prosper. I am grateful that we have a hands-on consultant who is both proactive and responsive.”

"We were successful on the outside. Behind the curtain, there were big problems. About a year and a half ago, we were in a really messed up place. Outwardly, people looked at us and saw success. But behind the curtain, there were big problems we needed to deal with. Making the decision to call Kevin was incredibly difficult. As a successful business owner, you don’t want people thinking there’s a problem. But I trusted him. From the beginning, it wasn’t a sales pitch. He was genuinely interested in helping. It’s one thing to coach me one-on-one. It’s another to bring someone into my leadership team. That was scary. Now? I rely on him. I want him interviewing the people I hire. What Kevin does is delicate. He doesn’t just tell you what to do. He exposes what you’re not doing. He shows you what you could be doing better. Sometimes kindly. Sometimes with a hammer. We are better today than we were a year and a half ago. The needle moved. And now I see a completely different vision and future for this company. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

“He helped me find the right director of operations — and protect the culture. I had a lot of hiring frustrations. I needed a Director of Operations — an integral part of my business — and I didn’t want to get it wrong. Kevin guided me through the entire process. Not just interviewing that person, but interviewing others on the team to make sure it wasn’t just a skills fit — it was a cultural fit. I knew Kevin personally. He’s a stand-up guy. But beyond that, there was nobody better to fill that role in my business at that time. He understands how the pieces of the puzzle fit together. I run a 20-person, high-level real estate company, and I can say confidently that working with Kevin was well worth it. If you’re contemplating it — don’t hesitate. You’ll be happy with the end results. I’ll be hiring him again.”

More profits, less stress! Before we started working with Kevin, our practice was in a dire situation. We were scrambling to pay the bills, yet our schedules were packed full. Our accounts receivable was at an astronomical amount, and we were struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Kevin's meetings with us involved tough love and financial smarts. We reworked our staffing priorities, changed our budget goals, and focused on individual problems, rather than trying to tackle them all at once. We began seeing our A/R come down, which equated to more money in the bank. We became smarter in how we staffed our offices. We were even able to drop the lowest reimbursing insurance networks so we can produce more with less effort. Since Kevin's changes have been implemented, we have seen higher production, higher collections, and smoother running days. Staff are happier, patients are happier, and overall, our stress level has diminished. Kevin's been an invaluable resource to our practice, and I could not be prouder to call ourselves his client. We are looking forward to years of a successful relationship with him so we can continue to improve our business and produce the highest quality work in the Chicagoland area.
