Testimonials

I‘ve learned many lifelong valuable skills to use in the workplace and personal life.

As a dental professional, I’ve attended several courses with Prime Practice, all top quality and I‘ve learned many lifelong valuable skills to use in the workplace and personal life, from working as a team to how to communicate effectively face to face, understanding your customer and problem solving under pressure. The course leaders looked after us from start to finish, and the aftercare, coaching and follow up service has all been nothing short of excellent. A special shout out to Justine, Maria and Maya who all went the extra mile for me with my queries and additional support. I highly recommend Prime Practice, thanks so much for everything!

Practice owners, if you are thinking about it, do it!

If 6 stars was an option I would give it to Daleen. Stepping into my new leadership role, the owners, invested in Daleen as my 1:1 coach and she is worth every cent. I went in with problems wanting solutions but she coached me to the solution by asking questions and helping me to form them on my own. I have then been able to take away this analytical approach for any issue that arises. She has really given me the confidence to excel in my new leadership role. Our business' are already seeing improvements and I owe this all to the skills and tools Daleen and Louise have imparted. Practice owners, if you are thinking about it, do it!! Ask for Daleen and your staff will thank you.
