So I'd love for you to just share a little bit first about, like, your, your career journey and kinda what led you to this place in your practice, but also in this leader- leadership role.

Yeah, absolutely.

Thanks, and, uh, again, great to be here.

Um, so I started my career in dentistry as an associate dentist, like many, many people do.

Um, and I had the opportunity to work in several different, uh, practice settings from private practice to health department dentistry, um, and different types of private practice.

And at the end of the day, I would say I was probably three or four years into my career, um, and I realized I wanted to really focus on the patient experience and the level of care that patients received, and making sure that that was constant across the board, no matter whether we took insurance, we didn't take insurance.

You know, we, we kind of took insurance out of the equation, um, and really just treated the patient as, you know, our patient and really what's best for their overall oral healthcare and their overall healthcare, period.

What, what do you think about all that?
