This has single handedly been the best community in dentistry I've ever been a part of! They aren't "selling" anything and they don't want to make you fit into their mold. They simply want to help dentists have a better life - at work and at home. They aren't for everyone, they aren't going to teach you how to create a DSO or how to run a Medicaid mill. But they are going to help you grow as a leader and as a human being and because of that your team, your patients, and your family will benefit! If you are looking for a group of people who care about YOU, look no further!

Their coaching program changed my life. I now have a practice that supports a balanced lifestyle with my family as the focus, an amazing team that I love working with, and a productive office supports my short and long term goals. I am so grateful for all that Kirk and the rest of ACT Dental has done for my life, and the lives of countless others!

Wow is it obvious that Kirk is passionate about what he does. It was clear his message and teachings stem from increasing the quality of life (family time!) of his clients. In the short time I heard him speak I can tell this individual positively affects the lives of anyone who comes into contact with him!

I absolutely love hearing Kirk speak, it's always an incredible experience. He keeps you engaged, has a great sense of humor and is extremely passionate about having a balance between work and family. I'm looking forward to seeing how our practice benefits from what we learned today. Thank you!

I'm so thankful that our office got started from the get-go with ACT! The seminars are entertaining, the advice is extremely practical and the coaching is worth it! 7 years after having gone through coaching, our team still regularly attends Kirk's classes and continue to be inspired in each and every one.

I've been to many excellent seminars, however the energy that Kirk delivers the wealth of information he has obtained over the years is unmatched. He was absolutely engaging and relevant. Our entire office walked out feeling impressed and motivated.
