About Us

There are many managerial groups out there that have their own models, but there is no other program that benefits the Doctor, staff and patient!

The Schuster Center for Professional Development is the preeminent dental office management school for dentists in the nation. Founded in 1978 by Dr. Michael Schuster, a practicing dentist, thousands have graduated from our programs and are enjoying the financial rewards they deserve, while respectively providing their patients with the highest care they expect.

“Where you are right now in your dental practice is a direct result of you. And, if you are not happy, it means you are not obtaining the benefits that you can and should be enjoying. Benefits such as higher earnings, higher customer satisfaction and more time in your life to do the things you enjoy most.

So, how have you arrived to this point? As dentists, we have been taught that financial security and satisfaction will be guaranteed if we build large practices with high patient loads and heavy production schedules. Unfortunately, this is an unsuccessful and outdated model of practice development.

For over three decades now, through motivating lectures and classes, we have been inspiring dentists everywhere to become the best by bringing their values of a fulfilling life into their practices. With a practice model that is personalized and tailored to each individual, we’ve seen thousands of dentists break the mold to traditional management.”
