In our latest "Faces of AADOM" series, Heather sits down with Melissa, whose remarkable journey from dental assistant to practice manager embodies the spirit of excellence in dental office management. Melissa's story is a testament to the transformative power of dedication, empathy, and a passion for helping others.  Melissa began her career in dentistry at the age of twenty, unsure if she could handle the demands of the job. Melissa's path to becoming a practice manager was paved with curiosity and a commitment to learning. Without formal training, she sought guidance from seasoned professionals in the field.  She recalls her first experience with a severe periodontal patient: “I was very weak-stomached growing up and didn't know if I could do this. The dentist kept asking if I was okay, and at the end of the day, he told me, ‘If you can do that, you can do anything.'” This trial by fire proved to Melissa that she had the resilience and determination to succeed in dentistry, a field where she could make a profound difference in people's lives.  Melissa's philosophy on practice management is centered around putting people first.  Join us in celebrating Melissa and many other AADOM members who make up the heartbeat of our community, sharing their unique journeys and the moments that define their passion for dental leadership.  Stay tuned for more inspiring stories in our "Faces of AADOM" series!Subscribe to Faces of AADOM to discover more stories of resilience, growth, and empowerment within the AADOM community.ABOUT FACES OF AADOM   Meet AADOM members who make up the heartbeat of our community - the diverse and talented individuals who embody the spirit of excellence in dental office management.
