Hi David,
It is a pleasure to offer a testimonial of your services. In late 2005 I was privileged to be in the audience of a presentation by Mr David Dahm – a name I had not heard before.
David was an enthusiastic and motivating gentleman with a passion for business management relating to the Medical Profession. I never forgot his name.
In 2006, my wife and I were offered purchase of a General Practice in which we had both worked for some years. We sought the advice of David Dahm.
David and his team were instrumental in the purchase, and more recently, the total upgrade and relocation of our now successful General Practice. We moved from a small dwelling with three doctors, into a space of over 300m2, currently housing nine doctors and several allied health professionals.
David and his loyal team have allowed us to structure our business and practice management in a way that enables it to now run as a well oiled and, most importantly, legally safe medical practice.
The advice we receive from David and his team is both instructive and educational – allowing us ultimately to run with a high degree of autonomy and confidence.
Emma and I now enjoy a work environment that is safe, successful and most importantly runs with a fantastic admin, nursing and medical team.
I remember with some trepidation building a ‘big practice’, wondering where the Doctors would come from to fill our consulting rooms. David’s reassuring words now ring true: “Don’t worry, they will come to you (once you have a well structured practice)”. I thought he was mad. We now find ourselves turning Doctors away!
It is without hesitation I recommend the services of Health and Life under the wings of David Dahm.
Kindest Regards
Principal

I now understand how our business operates the way it does, why we do things in a particular way and not in another way, e.g. trust structures.
The session has made me think about how we are utilizing our nursing staff. I wished one of our GP principals was there as I know they would have benefited from the session.
I have already been onto our practice solicitors this morning about relevant information received at the seminar.
