People often measure growth by numbers, but Dave uses a different lens.“ As critical as the success of a practice is, there must be alignment on the mission, vision, and values. If there’ s alignment but it’ s not a successful practice, we have to be thoughtful. If it’ s a successful practice but there isn’ t alignment, we have to be thoughtful. We spend a lot of time with prospective partners before entering a partnership to make sure we have that alignment, because that’ s such a critical part of our success.”
Smile Partners USA plans to double in size by 2030, but Dave’ s operations background keeps him focused on a familiar risk.“ I’ ve worked in businesses where growth outpaced support. The desire to expand comes so fast, the support team can’ t catch up.” That’ s why Smile Partners USA invests in infrastructure before growth demands it.
One of the company’ s biggest projects brings multiple practice management systems onto one platform. The goal goes beyond just technology.“ Getting everyone onto a single platform means we’ re speaking the same language and working from the same data. We’ re looking at the same schedules, clinical records, revenue cycle, and patient information. That single source of truth gives us the ability to keep improving
