I’m CEO, President and Founder of Healthcare Enterprises, Inc., a company that specializes in all aspects of dental practice retreats and lectures. I have over 45 years of dental experience, and I bring that to life through consulting and speaking nationally and internationally. I also share my passion for this industry through several professional organizations.
I love working with teams to enhance their communication skills. It makes my day when I see someone get through a block, and move to the next level.
When I’m not helping dental teams succeed, you can find me in Kansas City, MO with my amazing husband, Rick, or traveling to new and exciting places.
Lois’s introduction to the dental industry was as a rover dental assistant. She trained on the job but soon discovered it was a terrible idea because she faints at the sight of blood. She then transitioned to the admin team and found her home. Lois worked in four different dental practices over 25 years, where she designed effective systems and used her highly developed communication skills. She soon realized she could teach what she knew to other offices and founded Banta Consulting in 2000.
Lois loves teaching dental practices how to design systems and protocols and communicate effectively. She specializes in teaching practices on how to change their relationships with in-network contracts, transition out, and reclaim their power.
