“I was fortunate to have Karen consult with my practice early in my career. She conducted a comprehensive practice analysis, delving deep into my ideal work-life balance. With this knowledge, she meticulously crafted a practice model that seamlessly aligned with my vision.

Karen is a true virtuoso of “constraint management” and “doctor time scheduling.” (Constraint Management is an approach that focuses on identifying and improving the most critical limiting factor(s), or “constraints” within a system or organization, to maximize overall performance by addressing those bottlenecks.)

I firmly believe Karen is unmatched in this realm of orthodontic consulting. Witnessing her orchestrate our workflow was genuinely inspiring as she optimized each team member’s unique skills, the practice’s needs, and the doctors’ preferences.

Karen’s authentic approach and engaging storytelling style were instrumental in communicating her ideas clearly and inspiring the team to embrace them wholeheartedly. She was always readily available to address our questions and challenges by phone, email, or text.

I am eternally grateful for our time together. Karen’s guidance has been invaluable throughout my orthodontic journey. Looking back, hiring Hummingbird was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I ever made.

“Partnering with Hummingbird Associates has been the secret of my success as the owner of a boutique practice. They took my goals and needs and helped me design the practice of my dreams!! Karen has created an amazing team that can help you improve any area of your practice. I highly recommend!”

“I recently had the privilege and pleasure of working with Hummingbird Associates, and I am thoroughly impressed with their exceptional service and expertise. I initially contacted them to help me organize my schedule and make my working days more enjoyable. After a year of consulting, my clinic is more organized than ever, and I find working there more effortless and fulfilling. My staff also appreciate the improved work environment. As a bonus, my practice’s performance has dramatically increased over the past year. Additionally, Hummingbird facilitated connections with other orthodontists, helping me build a valuable support network. Consulting with Hummingbird has made my life and my staff’s lives easier and more enjoyable. I highly recommend Karen Moawad and her Hummingbird team to any orthodontist looking to enhance and enjoy their practice. It’s the best investment I have made in my professional career.”

“Hiring Karen Moawad was the best decision I’ve ever made in practice. Karen and her team at Hummingbird Associates have an unbelievable way of organizing and restructuring an orthodontic practice using proven, time-tested systems. Before Karen joined our team, I felt overworked and the days were long. Now, my patients are treated better than ever, the days are smooth and we are more productive than I could have ever imagined. Most importantly, I have more time off to spend with my family. I would do it again in a heartbeat. For anyone looking to hire a consultant, don’t even think twice. If you hire the Hummingbird Associates, it will be a life-changing decision and you’ll never look back.”

“Karen Moawad is a unique genius who possesses amazing insight into how to make an orthodontic practice more efficient, productive, and enjoyable. I owe a great deal of my practice success to Karen and her team, and if you have a chance to work with her, leap at the opportunity! But hold on—she will take the practice on a transformative ride to excellence!”

“The new Hummingbird Associates team, under Karen Moawad’s leadership, helped to transform my orthodontic practice from a “mom-and-pop” small business into a more professional systems-focused regional leader. From scheduling, to new patient intake to marketing and business metrics tracking, I urge any practice owner to partner with Hummingbird to meet the challenges of an evolving professional and business environment. 5-stars all day for 16 years!”

“I was lucky enough to start working with Hummingbird at the early stages of my practice. More than 15 years now. And, more importantly, I was lucky enough to listen! Nothing has made a more dramatic difference in the way we practice, and in the success of our practice, than having Karen and her team at our side at every step. Best thing we ever did!”

“Engaging Hummingbird Associates has allowed our practice to provide the client-focused experience we always strive for. Implementing their systems and strategies has helped our practice to run efficiently and to see our patients on time - and everyone knows how important time is. We now practice with intention, rather than hoping everything will just work out for the best. We can’t thank the Hummingbird team enough for their amazing guidance!”

“Karen and the Hummingbird team will change your practice and your life. You are the specialist in Orthodontics. They are the specialists in running an Orthodontic practice. The limits of your success need only be constrained by your own life work balance. I have been a Hummingbird client for 10 years and will be until I retire. Hummingbird built the framework for what my practice is today. ”

“I have worked with Karen and the Hummingbird team since 2006, but I was first inspired when I heard Karen lecture during residency. They’ve helped in every facet of my practice, from new patient exams to a re-organization of the practice and more. They inspire me to grow my practice and reach my potential and they help decrease stress by streamlining my practice’s efficiency. Every interaction with the Hummingbird team leaves me motivated, excited about what I do and with a clearer vision of where I’m going!”

“Our work with Hummingbird began when we changed software and wanted to ensure there was a proper conversion. Karen ended up not only converting our software, but our way of thinking as to how a practice could operate. Karen has a magical intuition as to what is possible, the talent to build a schedule that will allow it to come to fruition along with the tools to monitor the progress along the way. We have visited many impressive offices over the years. It takes only a few minutes of being in a practice to sense who is running Hummingbird systems. Even the most intimidating looking schedule flows on time for the patient, team and doctor.

Hummingbird clients all say the same thing with regards to their experience - we work less days, have more efficient and effective treatment, happier patients and teams, easier days in the office while experiencing growth and profitability that only Karen could have imagined.”

“Thank you for a wonderful consulting session. The entire team is so energized to take this practice to the next level. I can’t imagine how we (or any one) could have ever attempted to go thru the Dolphin conversion without you. I am going to organize my notes over the weekend and come up with a strategy with the rest of the team to implement some of the marketing ideas that we discussed.”

“Thank you!! What an amazing week! I can’t believe how much we got done… I’m so excited about the treatment plans and how that is going to change the way we see and treat our patients. You opened my eyes to a lot of things this week. I think the staff too is very excited about all the changes. You are truly inspiring! I have a lot to learn from you!! I’m planning on attending the leadership course… I think I need some guidance. Thank you so much! With love and a big hug!”

“I have to say that I am so very appreciative of all the knowledge you and your unbelievable team bestow upon us. I am feeling much more secure with using Dolphin and I owe it all to you.

“ Hummingbirds are the best orthodontic consultants in the industry. Karen Moawad has extensive experience and knowledge that is unrivaled. She has insight into all aspects of efficiently running and growing an orthodontic practice. Her team can help with financial systems, scheduling systems, business systems, clinical systems, and marketing systems to name only a few. I couldn’t be happier as a client (for as long as I practice) and definitely wouldn’t be as successful without Hummingbird.

“We are enjoying your team as they create the Hummingbird Extreme Makeover on Steroids. Whew! There is so much to take in. Thank you to all the Hummingbird consultants for supporting us in making your vision, plan and organization a reality. ”
