Start-Up Coaching Full Testimonial: Dr. Sehmi – Austin, TX

February 25, 2026

Opening a dental practice is one of the most exciting—and sometimes overwhelming—milestones in a doctor’s career. For Austin start-up Dr. Sehmi, the biggest challenge wasn’t clinical—it was managing the timelines, logistics, and steps that make or break a smooth opening.

That all changed when she joined Benco’s Start-Up Coaching Program.

Clarity and Confidence from Day One
Dr. Sehmi shared that joining the program immediately reduced her stress and gave her a clear roadmap of what needed to happen—and when. With guidance from experienced coaching specialists, she could focus on her patients and her practice rather than getting bogged down in administrative details.

Early Wins That Set Her Up for Success
With Start-Up Coaching, Dr. Sehmi achieved important milestones quickly:

  • On-time insurance credentialing
  • A structured roadmap to avoid missed steps
  • Greater preparedness and confidence to make key decisions
  • The support of a team of trusted experts invested in her success

Reflecting on her experience, Dr. Sehmi encourages other start-up doctors to “take the plunge,” calling the program an investment that pays off far beyond expectations.

Support from Experts in Every Area
Benco’s Start-Up Coaching Program brings together specialists in all the areas a new practice needs:

  • Credentialing and PPO negotiations
  • Fee schedule analysis based on local market data
  • HR guidance and team training
  • OSHA & HIPAA compliance
