Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I talk to Dr. Sonya Kumar who goes through her dental journey. After graduating from dental school; Dr. Kumar goes into a GPR (general practice residency) and finds her first job working in a Medicaid office owned by a dentist who only cares about how many kids she sees and nothing about the quality of care. She leaves that office just to find herself in a corporate setting that now believes she should sell dentistry and if she isn't productive, it's her fault. Dr. Kumar opens up about her experience in all facets of dentistry and what the pitfalls are working for corporate and private practice. This episode has it all including tips to help dentist and patients evaluate dental offices
