Fractional CTO for dental & healthcare practices

One technology partner. Your entire practice stack. Managed for you.

Discover Solutions is the fractional CTO for dental, chiropractic, and healthcare practices in Chicago and across the United States. We own your practice management software, patient communications, CRM, website, SEO, and AI workflows — so you stop chasing seven vendors and start running one practice.

“We replaced three separate vendors with Discover Solutions and recovered $4,200 a month in overlapping software and consultant fees.”
— Practice owner, 4-doctor dental group, Naperville IL

The problem

Your practice runs on 8 vendors.
None of them talk to each other.

You bought Carestack because your front desk needed scheduling. Weave because patients wanted texts. VoiceStack because your phones were a mess. A separate web agency built your site three years ago. A marketing freelancer runs your Google Ads. An “IT guy” handles printers. None of them know what the others are doing.

01

Patient texts confirmed, but your PMS still shows the slot as open.

02

New patient leads from your website go nowhere — no CRM rule routes them.

03

Your “AI receptionist” doesn’t know about same-day cancellations.

04

Insurance verifications take 14 minutes each because nothing is automated.

05

You can’t tell which channel produced last month’s $18K in new-patient revenue.

You don’t need another vendor.
You need one person who owns all of it.

The fractional CTO model

A fractional Chief Technology Officer for your practice — without the $220K salary.

A full-time CTO at a 3-doctor practice doesn’t make financial sense. But the role does. Discover Solutions gives you that role on a monthly retainer.

  • One point of contact for everything technology-related — software, integrations, web, AI, reporting.
  • One roadmap that ties marketing, software, automation, and AI to revenue.
  • One bill instead of nine. Most practices recover the fee within 60 days.
  • Direct partner relationships with Carestack, VoiceStack, Weave, Salesforce, Monday, Shopify, and iHomefinder. When something breaks, we don’t open a support ticket — we text our partner rep.

Proof & partners

Vendor-neutral by design.
Partnered with the ones we recommend.

When Carestack pushes an update at 11 PM the night before your launch — we already know about it. That’s the difference between a partner and a consultant who Googles things.

FAQ

Questions practice owners ask us before signing.

Straight answers — the same ones we give on the phone.

What is a fractional CTO for a healthcare practice?

A fractional Chief Technology Officer is a senior technology leader retained part-time, usually for a fixed monthly fee, to own your practice’s entire technology stack — software selection, integrations, automations, vendor relationships, website, SEO, AI, and reporting. For a 1–10 doctor practice, a fractional CTO replaces 3–7 individual specialists (IT, web, SEO, CRM admin, automation consultant, AI consultant) at roughly 30–50% of the cumulative cost.

How much does a fractional CTO cost for a dental or chiropractic practice?

Discover Solutions retainers start at $2,500/month for a single-location practice and scale based on stack complexity and number of locations. Most practices cut $1,500–$4,500/month in redundant software and consultant fees within the first 60 days, making the retainer effectively net-positive from month one.

Do you replace our existing IT or just consult?

We replace. The fractional CTO model means we own the outcome. We hold the vendor logins (or co-hold them), we file the tickets, we deploy the integrations, we update the AI prompts, we sit in the partner Slack channels. You stop being your own integrator.

Are you HIPAA-compliant?

Yes — we work under Business Associate Agreements (BAA) with healthcare clients, and we deploy AI workflows on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure (AWS HIPAA-eligible services, Carestack-native automations, BAA-covered model providers), consistent with HHS's Business Associate Agreement guidance. We will not deploy any tool that breaks your PHI compliance posture.

Which practice management systems do you support?

Primary: Carestack, Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft for dental; ChiroTouch, Jane, Genesis for chiropractic. Patient communications: Weave, Solutionreach, Lighthouse 360. Voice/AI: VoiceStack, plus custom AI receptionists. CRM: Salesforce Health Cloud, GoHighLevel, Monday.com.

Do you serve practices outside Chicago Suburbs, Houston, and Dallas?

Yes — fractional CTO is a remote-first role. We have active clients across the U.S. The three named metros are where we host local in-person workshops and Google Business Profile presence; engagement quality is identical nationwide.

Can you also handle pure Salesforce implementations for non-healthcare orgs?

Yes. Our Salesforce Consulting Partner practice delivers Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Health Cloud, CPQ, and Revenue Cloud implementations for organizations that aren’t healthcare-vertical. See the Salesforce Implementation page.

What about realtors and e-commerce?

We have dedicated practices for realtors (GoHighLevel + iHomefinder + MLS-integrated websites) and Shopify e-commerce (Shopify Partner-level builds and CRO). Both are run by specialists inside Discover Solutions.
