Dave Gaspar, CEO, Smile Partners: We know that there are a lot of patients and individuals throughout the country who have dental needs. And our job is to help them elevate their oral care. Smile Partners is an organization that supports dental practices, helps those dental practices deliver an excellent patient experience, helps improve the lives of patients in their communities, and delivers outstanding clinical care. We are a network of offices spread across five states, really focused on being able to help those communities.
Joe Shermetaro, Director of Operations Smile Partners: The Smile Easy program allows us to offer an in-house plan to patients to get them cost-effective solutions to the treatment that they need, so whether they don't have insurance or we can beat their insurance, it allows us to help them become as healthy as possible with the treatment plans that we provide.
Dave Gaspar, CEO, Smile Partners: We know that as time goes on, more and more Americans don't have dental insurance. And so we really want to have a solution for those individuals where they can come into our practices, get high-quality care at reasonable prices, so that they can get healthy and then maintain their health over time. And we really see the retention as well as the elevation of the oral health care for those patients when they're on the Smile Easy Plan.
Joe Shermetaro, Director of Operations Smile Partners: Filling schedules is the foundation of what we do as a thriving, growing group. Obviously, filling the schedules helps us hire the best staff, the best doctors, the best hygienists, make overall improvements to our practices, and our Smile Easy Plan allows us to do that.
Dave Gaspar, CEO, Smile Partners: Partnering with Clerri and using the technology really allows us to be able to communicate with our patients, provide them the information that they need to make decisions for their health care, both orally and overall. So we really value that partnership and the technology it allows us to interact with our patients.
