The DNA of a Model Practice
The ESS platform was constructed with the building blocks of practice life standardized from successful, high-production practices. This “practice DNA” stems from a growth and people-oriented culture.

The Model Business
Over 16 years ago, Dr. Christopher Sabourin founded a solo practice in California’s Central Valley. He and his team built it into a practice ranked in the top .1% of its type. With two locations, 15 team members, and consistently high patient experience ratings, Dr. Sabourin realized that his processes could be mapped, reproduced, and utilized by peers nationwide. He began tracing what he calls the “heartbeat” of his practice, beginning a three-year R&D process to turn his model into a platform for transforming endo practices and other small businesses.

Criteria
The processes, workflows, and training modules developed to form the ESS practice DNA model are based on Dr. Sabourin’s practice in the top .1% of revenue, patient, and employee satisfaction in the United States as well as on additional industry research. To reflect ESS standards, any new features or products will be based on practices fitting the same criteria. The ESS process for vetting model practices involves an extensive questionnaire, interviews, and data verification. We encourage feedback from ESS users as part of our online knowledge network, as we foster community and elevate our peers.
