Dr. Benk has practiced in the Atlanta area since 1980. He earned his dental degree from Emory University School of Dentistry where he went on to serve on the faculty. He is a member of multiple dental groups as well as being a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and an internationally recognized teacher in the CEREC 3-D method.
“After practicing dentistry for 28 years I continue to enjoy it a lot but have always had this dream to take a sabbatical from the office for about 12 months and do the things that I always wanted to do and be able to return to my practice better than it was when I left it.
“When I told my two associate dentists about this dream, they said have a great time, just make sure there are enough new patients.
“So I teamed up with one of the best marketing consultants teams I could find, Keith and Deborah Gilleard. They told me that they were different than any others around and I found out they were. They employ a scientific approach to marketing and know how to get results.
“Well, I have been on sabbatical for the last 3 1/2 months in another
state and my dental practice has more than enough fee-for-service new
patients with only 2/3rds of the marketing strategy employed. Key to this
has been Internet marketing. Through Internet marketing, Effective Practice
Marketing have implemented a way to generate new patients into
my practice in a most cost
effective way.
“The practice has a constant flow of new patients and all I do is admire how well it is all going. From Internet marketing alone, I have been getting about 20 new patients per month at a low cost per patient.
“One of the biggest mistakes I didn’t make was agree that I couldn’t live the dream. I love practicing dentistry, always have and will continue when I return in a few more months.”
