Elite 1:1 Mentorship · Private strategy partnership
One-on-one mentorship with Dr. Kassmel for established owners who have built something strong and can feel the ceiling of their current level: A second location, more doctors, a leadership team that runs the practice at your standard, or a long-term exit plan.
We build the strategy for your next chapter together.
$3,499/month · Limited to 10 clients
Your systems work. Your team is solid. Your numbers are healthy. And somewhere along the way, growth started to level off.
The next level asks different questions. Do you add a location, or another doctor? How do you build a leadership team that runs the practice at your standard? What do you want this practice to give you in five years, and in ten?
Those questions deserve a strategist who has scaled multi-doctor practices and knows what the view looks like from where you want to go.
Elite is a private strategy partnership for the owner who is ready for her next level.

Your strategist
23+ years in dentistry. Owner of two large multi-doctor practices in Colorado's Vail Valley, which run without her in the chair. Coach and faculty with Dental Success Institute, Fortune 5000 recognized, and creator of the 5 Pillars.
She has made the moves you're considering: growing to multiple doctors, building a leadership team, and stepping out of the chair. In Elite, she works with no more than ten owners at a time, so you get her full attention and her best thinking.
"She could coach any professional. She does know the dental business so well, but she also just knows the business of people and leadership. She is confident and humble."
Dr. Karley Schneider

Elite 1:1 case study · Dr. Dennison
Where she started
When Dr. Dennison met Dr. Kassmel, she was trying to grow a start-up while continuing to run her existing practice. She was burned out and exhausted.
What changed
Dr. Kassmel helped her find the courage to go all in with her start-up, and encouraged her to build balance back into a season of overwhelming burnout.
Who she is now
She's systematizing her business so she can be a more present mom and wife.
"Within a year, I grew my production by $100k a month. She also encouraged me to find balance to help with the overwhelming burnout I was experiencing. I am really enjoying learning how to systematize my business so that I can be a more present mom and wife. This program helped me immensely."

Production, more than doubled
Lower overhead, on average
The profit (+166%)

Success stories
Dr. Cohen
"Because of working with Summer, I was able to increase the profits in the business, and I gained flexibility and freedom that I wouldn't have today. Summer listens deeply, she has thoughtful questions, and she truly tries to understand what the problem is before offering solutions. She has a 'no BS' approach. It's clear, it's direct, I can digest it and implement it right away. If you have the chance to work with Summer, just take it."
Dr. As-Sanie
"Working with Summer has been a game-changer. She brings a refreshing perspective as a woman in the field, one that's grounded, insightful, and deeply empowering. She helps you think strategically and big-picture, always moving with intention toward your specific goals. The way she trains you to elevate your thinking has truly blown my mind."
"Is this the right time?" The best time to plan your next level is while the practice is strong. Growth decisions made from a position of strength are better decisions.
"Can I keep growing on my own?" You've already proven you can build. The next level asks different questions, and a strategist who has answered them before shortens the path.
"Would a group work instead?" If you want a strategist's full attention on your practice and your decisions, Elite is built for that. If you're still building your systems and leaders, Foundations is a wonderful fit, and we'll tell you honestly which one suits you.
Hi Doctor,
There's a moment, after you've built something successful, when the strategies that got you here stop moving the needle. I know that moment well.
Building and scaling two multi-doctor practices taught me that the next level comes from clearer vision, better numbers, and leaders who carry your standard. It all starts with one question: what do you really want this practice and your legacy to become?
I keep Elite to ten owners at a time so I can give each one my full attention and my best thinking.
If you're ready to see what your practice can become, I'd be honored to build that next chapter with you.
Let's get to work.
