Dental Consultant Connection

What Dental Consultant Connection does

Dental Consultant Connection (DCC) is a privately-held consulting network founded in 2011 by Robin Morrison and headquartered at 230 Overbrook Drive East, Largo, Florida. The company operates as a matchmaking intermediary that connects dental practices throughout the United States with specialized consultants across niche areas including HIPAA and OSHA compliance, insurance billing and coding (cross-coding, fee negotiation, credentialing, Medicaid/Medicare), marketing, hygiene and periodontal programs, practice transitions, financial advisory, embezzlement detection, and team building. DCC explicitly states there is no fee to the dentist client and no sales pitch; dentists complete a practice evaluation form on the website, after which DCC's team analyzes the needs and recommends one or more consultants from its curated network.

The company's business model appears to be referral- or affiliate-based rather than direct billing: DCC likely earns revenue through arrangements with the network consultants it refers clients to, rather than by charging the dental practice. DCC does not operate a software platform or proprietary technology product; its offering is a curated network of vetted consultants with verified credentials, combined with a structured matching process personally led by Morrison. The company also operates a content marketing blog covering dental practice management topics and maintains a Facebook presence as lead-generation channels, with prospect meetings scheduled via Calendly. There is no app, no API, no disclosed integrations, and no AI/ML component referenced in available materials.

DCC serves SMB dental practices across the United States, including both general practices and startups, addressing pain points such as overhead control, insurance complexity, compliance exposure (HIPAA fines cited up to $1.5 million), hygiene department growth, patient retention, case acceptance, and practice transitions. The company is closely associated with sister firm RLM Healthcare Marketing & Consulting, Inc. (founded by Morrison in 1997), which specializes in dental marketing strategy and from which DCC appears to draw operational and marketing support. Morrison also co-founded the Oral Cancer Cause non-profit in 2012 with Linda Miles. DCC reports 11-50 total personnel (inclusive of network consultants), maintains an active website through 2025, and has no disclosed funding, patents, certifications, regulatory actions, or acquisitions.
