Proveer Practice Management helped Grand Rapids dentist office Van Haren Family Dentistry acquire the practice of Grand Rapids dentist Dr. Robert Bochniakas on March 1st, 2009. The merger is a win-win-win for Dr. Bochniak, Van Haren Family Dentistry, and patients. Dr. Bochniak will continue to see his patients at Van Haren Family Dentistry for 6-12 months while transitioning to full retirement. The larger patient base furthers Van Haren Family Dentistry's growth objective. Finally, Dr. Bochniak's patients will experience a smooth transfer of care to Grand Rapids dentist Dr. Ryan Van Haren as Dr. Bochniak transitions to retirement.
According to Dr. Van Haren, “We have experienced consistent organic growth over the last few years despite the economic downturn. Dr. Bochniak’s desire to transition to retirement offered us an opportunity to take a big leap in our growth."
Dr. Van Haren adds, "The fit between the practices in this merger is great. Both Dr. Bochniak and I enjoy the relationships we form with patients and our sense of service to patients. We both built our practices to foster those relationships and help our patients.”
Greg McGlaun from Proveer Practice Management was the architect of the acquisition and is now managing the transition. "We are managing a number of tansition issues: different location, different fees, different relationships with insurance companies, different practice management software, different approaches to periodontal care and x-rays, and more. It's early, but so far so good."
