Spanish Operation Dental: The Better Option
We understand the issues that dentists face today - we have been there.
Something Better
Co-founder Dr. Peter Kelly started his career for a large dental corporation before opening his own private practice.
He learned two valuable lessons:
- Large corporate dentistry is bottom-line driven. It's less about giving dentists clinical autonomy and more about increasing production numbers.
- Private practice gives you autonomy, but it’s a struggle to balance business and life goals.
Dr. Kelly envisioned a world where dentists have a better option:
- Focus on being great clinicians.
- Build wealth.
- Have the business support for success.
To achieve this dream, he partnered with an MBA, Matt Robinson, to create Operation Dental.
