Real Results - Run Your Practice, Don't Let It Run You!
Meet our hero, Dr. Whitney Anhorn!
When we first met Whitney, she wanted to run a successful practice. Instead, the practice was running Whitney. Dental school taught her how to be a good dentist—not a good practice owner! No one prepared her for the business side of things, like how to hire amazing people, how to define the practice culture, or how to establish core values.
Whitney felt isolated. Friends and family didn’t understand her struggles. And, she couldn’t ask for advice from the dentist down the street!
Then, Whitney discovered the Best Practices Association—a community of dentists who understand exactly what she’s going through. She found a place to share her wins, her losses and her questions. She used to feel isolated, and now, she feels more connected than ever.
Whitney is proud to say she’s running the practice of her dreams. She is in control, not the practice!
Her story is one we’ve heard many times. If you feel isolated, our doors are always open. Start your journey to a thriving practice by joining the Best Practices Association!
