Practicing dentist and adjunct professor with insurance industry aspirations.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated dentist with extensive experience in private practice and a passion for education. Currently, I serve as an adjunct professor, teaching Anatomy and Physiology courses online. My role involves creating comprehensive course content and ensuring quality standards through the QM certification process. I take pride in my ability to communicate complex concepts effectively, whether in a classroom setting or through online platforms.
With over 15 years of experience managing my own dental practice, I have developed a strong background in insurance claims processing and policy writing. My daily interactions with insurance companies have equipped me with the knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of dental insurance. I am now eager to transition into the dental insurance industry, where I can leverage my skills and experience to contribute to policy development and improve patient care.
