"I have had the opportunity to attend several top management courses over the years. Art's hands on approach is the best because he comes to my office to interact with our staff. His unique method to raise the level of each staff member thereby raising the performance of the whole team not only makes sense, it really works.

This is the best single thing I have ever done for my practice and team. I cannot recommend Vista Practice Management enough."


- Paul J. Wulff, D.M.D

About Vista Practice Management

Many dentists live in quiet desperation. Most have spent six figures and a number of good years pursuing their education all with the goal of launching their own practices... and they don’t find the traditional "success" they had imagined. They find broken appointments, stressful days, staff members who care more about collecting paychecks than serving the patients, and insurance companies that argue about every single claim submitted. The next logical step is that the dentist, in his or her desperation, hires a Consultant to be the Magic Blue Pill to fix the dental practice. Well, the problem is that there is no Magic Blue Pill! There are literally hundreds of Consultants, and several approaches to "fix" problems, but real solutions have to start with the unique issues inside each practice. Vista Practice Management was created to take the best of many differing consulting approaches and to formulate programs that meet the individual needs of your practice. This "consulting" is not a canned approach, but a one-on-one personal training with someone who listens and learns along with you and your practice. Art Deden, Vista’s founder, has been through many consulting approaches and has merged the varied approaches to best help YOU.

Art Deden is highly skilled at both team motivation and improving the bottom-line. "Cutting his teeth" in corporate America, Art began his professional career with a Fortune 500 company. After 14 years of progressive growth, Art donned an "entrepreneurial hat" and opened his own chain of coffee shops in Phoenix. Although he enjoyed being "in charge" of his own destiny, he quickly realized that his talents would be better shared by helping others. He left business ownership to work in the field of Practice Management.

Art began cultivating personal success for dentists at The Schuster Center for Professional Development and then went on to work for Next Level Practice. The combination of his corporate experience, business ownership experience, and his experience in differing theories of practice management make him a unique, well-educated and effective tool for your practice.

Art’s greatest joy is watching team members experience the personal growth that always occurs during the engagement process. In fact, this is what motivates him to continue in this field. Once the individual(s) grow personally, success is eminent. Art often says, "My role is to help individuals grow and develop personally. Once they do, the growth of the practice is a natural by-product." Art’s greatest successes come from two steps: personal growth and practice growth.

Art is one of those guys you will be happy to know. He’ll motivate you, show you how to grow, and feel more like a friend than a business associate. He’s got the right experience to help your practice, and he’s got the personality and dedication you’d expect from a trusted partner.
