I can't recommend Zeroed-In Dental Solutions enough.
I've been working with Zeroed-In Dental Solutions for a little over 4 months now, and I have to say they are amazing! I brought in Linda Kane and her team into my new acquisition/startup when original staff created a huge billing mess. Handing the reigns over to Zeroed-In Dental Solutions is probably the single-best decision I made. The team has great work ethic, communication, attitude, dedication, and capability. Setting up with Zeroed-In was really easy, and they work around the clock to send, follow up, and clean up claims for you. I was also going through a software transition from Eaglesoft to Curve Dental and they knew exactly how to handle that situation as well and keep things accurate. They'll even verify insurances and handle patient billing for you as well. Everything is very professional from the team and they bring really good energy and a great attitude too! They make you want to bring them into your practice and keep them as your own personal team. I was deciding between a few billing/RCM teams when I was looking for one, and to be honest, they all kind of sound the same, right? But talking to Linda and Zeroed-In, they stood out with their expertise and capability, and I am really glad I chose them over everyone else. It has made a huge difference for my practice and is a lot less work and hassle for me day-to-day as well. Overall, I can't recommend Zeroed-In Dental Solutions enough and you'll love working with them and enjoy the benefits it brings to you and your practice.
I have piece of mind that our patients are getting the best.

They have taken extra time to make our business better.
Very, very, very pleased with the zeroed in team. If I could give more stars I would do it. Linda and Michelle have been extraordinary in their care and help for our team. They have taken extra time to make our business better and more successful. Because of their extraordinary efforts, I have changed the way I practice dentistry and it has reshaped my views. I would not hesitate recommending their services! Thanks Linda and Michelle!!!
