Since 2002, Dr. Collier has been at the helm of ARcare as our CEO. After his medical training, Dr. Collier returned to his hometown of Augusta in 1981 and enjoyed practicing medicine, but was excited by the chance to build “White River Rural Health” (our previous name!) into the ARcare and KentuckyCare family of clinics that you know today. Over the years, Dr. Collier has been deeply touched by his patients, who he gets to know from birth until old age. Being involved with patients for their entire lives is a special aspect of medicine for Dr. Collier. To him, the continuity of care that ARcare and KentuckyCare provide makes them completely different from a “minute clinic” or an urgent care center. This is because the goal of ARcare and KentuckyCare is to provide “Health for All” at any age and any stage. And this is not a phrase that Dr. Collier just throws around. It is the mission that defines every decision he makes as CEO. When he isn't wearing the hat of CEO or interacting with patients, Dr. Collier enjoys exercising, being outdoors, spending time with his grandchildren, and traveling around the U.S. (or abroad, as time permits!).

Jonathan created Tooth & Coin to solve the problem facing many dentists – they have complicated business and their time is stretched way too thin. Most dentists spend 15,000 hours learning to be a dentist but ZERO hours learning how to be a business owner. Tooth & Coin aims to completely automate and outsource the bookkeeping, financial reporting, and tax portion of the dentist's business so that they can focus on what really matters in their practice. By creating an automated workflow for the dentist and by focusing on showing dentists what numbers they need to be watching, Tooth & Coin has allowed dental practices around the country to raise profits by hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. When not interviewing dentists on his podcast Start Your Dental Practice, coaching dentists on being a better business owner, or just needing it up with business owners about ways to be more profitable Jonathan enjoys spending time going to the lake with his wife April, daughters Harper and Bailey, and son Finn. He's also been known to play golf (poorly). Weird facts about Jonathan – he was once ranked in the top ten in the nation at whiffle ball, played bass guitar in a rock band for eight years, and spent his college years playing semi-professional poker.
