Linda O'Grady, Co-Founder -
Advanced Hygiene Concepts, Inc. began offering a Money Back Guarantee in
1993, three years after we founded the company, after it became apparent
that our training and long term support consistently provided higher
profits, quality patient care, and a happier, more productive team. We
understand that this is going to be an important investment in the growth of
your practice. To remove one factor that often stands in the way of any
important decision - the cost, we have partnered with you by offering a
Money Back Guarantee. This will allow you to focus on the more important
decision - "Will this improve patient care?". We are proud of the
consistent, long term results our training provides, and our clients
generate many times the cost of our program over an extended period of time. |
 |
Valerie Williams, Co-Founder
- Advanced Hygiene Concepts, Inc. is unique in several ways - For one,
we know of no other consulting organization which offers a Money Back
Guarantee. Another unique aspect of our training is that you have a team of
two professionals, one a RDH, and the other an Administrative Specialist.
This unique "team approach" provides consistency of systems, consistent
verbal skills throughout the office, the development of a unified treatment
philosophy, and consistent quality patient care. This consistency is one of
the factors which pays off for your office over the long term. |
