What do you do with a dental emergency at midnight, or on the weekends? This is a real fear for anyone in severe pain, but dentists worry about it, too. We value our patients’ well-being and happiness. That’s why getting them care when they need it most—while maintaining the relationship with their regular dentist, or even finding one for them for the first time—is a big part of our mission at EmergDENT.I co-founded EmergDENT to deliver convenient, accessible emergency dental services, even off-hours. It’s not just my clinical background but my experience building businesses that informs my approach as chief executive officer.I oversee business strategy, operations and our outreach and partnerships with dental professionals. We offer peace of mind that benefits more than just patients. We solve serious issues for:• Dental practices: Continuity of care is incredibly important to dentists. We’re here to take care of their patients when they cannot—and to bring in new patients who lack a regular dentist.• Hospitals and health centers: The emergency room isn’t the place for dental emergencies. We alleviate that burden—and quickly address the issue for patients.• New dentists: We have mentorship and training in place to support and prepare a network of clinicians.In my own small way, I’m changing the arc of healthcare delivery—which is important to me not just in my businesses, but in my home. I’m a Vancouver kid. I grew up here, work here, raise my family here. I want to give back to this community which has given so much to me.It’s why I work with Kindness in Action to bring emergency dental care to underserved communities around the world, and the work has inspired us at EmergDENT, too. We plan to create similar ties to communities across Canada.Specialties include: healthcare innovation | emergency dentistry | strategic vision
