Today she’s the force behind Whole Dental Wellness, acquiring seven practices across three locations and shaping a truly interdisciplinary, specialist-led model. Along the way: 300 office visits in three months, 40% year-one growth, and a relentless focus on surrounding herself with people who lift the bar.

Whitney gets candid about the lessons that matter: the power of peer masterminds (DEO), stripping ego from dentistry to serve the whole patient, and a real cash-flow scare that required cutting fat—not muscle—to come back stronger. She also shares how a single moment of allyship at an SSC lunch led to her joining icon DPO—where clinical autonomy meets real operational support.

If you’re building anything—practice, team, or leadership—you’ll appreciate Whitney’s take on authenticity, time as the ultimate KPI, and transforming from “quiet in the back row” to a trusted SSC leader. Cheers.
