What Our Members are Saying…
-
“The thing I appreciate most about being a part of this network is the wealth of knowledge, kindness, and support that we all share. It really helps to know that you have people to reach out to when you have questions.”
~Camilla M. Office Manager, Falmouth Dental Health
-
"This network is nothing short of amazing. It provides direction, opportunity, and clarity to a role that can sometimes feel isolated and overwhelming. Everyone in this group is here to learn and grow from one another. It truly is a place of peer-to-peer professionalism that everyone benefits from. I am so glad I found them!"
Kelly D. Practice Administrator Blatt & Kingston Family Dental
MDLC Board Member
-
"After leaving one of the largest DSOs and going to a private practice, I missed the camaraderie and information we could share with one another. I decided to reach out to multiple private practice managers in my area for relationship building and that is when I was introduced to AADOM. Learning what AADOM offers and experiencing my first AADOM conference in 2023, I was beyond excited and blessed and truly thankful for the wealth of knowledge and ladies I've grown to know. It truly is one of the best investments I've made for my career!"
~Shaye C. Practice Administrator, Falmouth Pediatric Dentistry
