Building Confidence With High-Value Treatment Plans



Episode Description


Are you confident presenting higher-ticket treatment plans to patients—or do you feel yourself hesitating when the conversation turns to value and outcomes? In this episode, Don shares his January 2026 one-page report and reflects honestly on what it takes to get comfortable offering $3,000+ treatment packages without sounding salesy or uncertain.


Don walks through what worked at the end of 2025, including revenue performance, review growth, referral systems, and marketing improvements. He also breaks down how better communication, emotional buy-in, and clearer treatment framing are helping him move toward the next growth phase—from a $1M practice to $2M and beyond.
