some outside entity that may not have their interests in mind .”
Ascendancy offers another distinct advantage for dentists in transition . “ All of our mentoring is guided by one caveat – a focus on balance . We want our dentist clients to rediscover their original passion and restore balance to their personal and professional lives . We meet with them to find out where they ’ d like to be in five years , to cast their vision for the future and explore what they would like their ideal life to look like . Whatever their dream is , we create a focused , strategic plan to propel them toward it .”

A perfect example is one of the co-founders of Ascendancy Health , Dr . Jeff Meckler , a very successful endodontist in Monterey , California . Brinkman explains , “ Prior to implementing the strategies outlined in the Ascendancy model , Jeff was working five days a week , making above average income . Now , three years later , he ’ s doubled his income and working three or four days per week . Jeff controls his practice , not the other way around . He spends time with his family , has become a pilot , and enjoys working in the chair when he is in the office .”
Brinkman ’ s Ascendancy platform serves diverse businesses from manufacturing , to e-commerce , to medical practitioners . But he has a soft spot for dentists . “ This is my 31 st year in the financial arena and I remember seeing what happened to physicians 15 and 20 years ago when the big medical and hospital systems gobbled them up . The same thing started 11 years ago
Finding balance in both your personal and professional life is essential . Rob Brinkman pictured with his wife , Sarah , and family .
